IT: Networking Vocab

Subject : it-skills
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Knows which VLAN a stream of data belongs to by reading a tad added to each frames header






2. A combination of LAN's - MAN's - or WAN's that provides computer users with an array of computer and network resources to complete different tasks.






3. Assigning a placeholder to each piece of a block of data to allow the receiving node's Transport layer to reassemble the data in the correct order






4. Attacker who utilizes tactics designed to trip the organization's IDPS - essentially causing the organization to conduct its own DoS attack - but overreacting to an actual - but insignificant - attack.






5. Secure sockets layer-encyrpts TCP/IP transmission including web forms- en route b/w the client server using public key encryption technology






6. A network topology in which all of the nodes are connected to a central line or bus






7. Transport Layer






8. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and passes them on to other parts of the network. Generally more intelligent than a hub.






9. Which protocol allows the transfer of a file from one computer to another over the network?






10. Performs name resolution






11. Firewalls perform two basic security functions






12. The part of a network to which segments and significant shared devices connect






13. A network whose access is restricted to only clients or machines with proper credentials.






14. ISM






15. BootP






16. Professional organization with 90 chapters around the world that helps to establish technical standards for the internet






17. Public switched telephone network






18. Method of controlling how network nodes access communication channels - ex highway






19. Amount of data that can be transmitted over media or wireless at a time.






20. Device that separates multiplexed signals once they are received and regenerates them in their original form






21. International telecommunication Union






22. Helps you identify percentage of traffic that compromises broadcasts






23. Data only






24. Consists of procedures and systems that identify system intrusions






25. IDPS that uses profiles to detect anomalous protocol behavior






26. Error detection and correction






27. Lower sublayer of the Data Link layer; appends the physical address of the destination computer onto the fram






28. Slow wireless standard 11-18 throughput






29. Process in which an NIDPS inspects the higher-order protocols (HTTP - FTP - Telnet) are examined for unexpected packet behavior or improper use






30. Assigning a unique frequency band to each communication






31. 2nd layer; bridges the networking media with the Network layer. Primary function is to divide the data it receives from the Network layer into frames to be transmitted by the Physical layer






32. Lowest or 1st layer; protocols generate and detect signals so as to transmit and receive data over a network medium - also set the data transmission rate and monitor data error rates - but do not provide error correction






33. MPLS






34. Network segment that contains end nodes - such as workstations






35. Translates data to a format the receiving node understands - such as from EBCDIC to ASCII - Performs data encryption - Performs data compression






36. American Standard Code for Information Interchange






37. Dynamic host configuration protocol






38. A permanent telephone connection between 2 locations that provide a predetermined amount of bandwidth at all times






39. Default subnet mask for 154.13.44.87






40. Type of multiplexing that assigns a unique frequncy band to each communications subchannel






41. Address Resolution Protocol






42. The actual data - any communication that encodes a message






43. Asynchronous digital subscriber line. Method of providing internet service that uses the standard phone line - but transmits data at a different frequency than voice. Faster than ISDN.






44. NTP






45. Device similar to a burglar alarm in that it detects a violation and activates an alarm.






46. Name Of Layer 5






47. Http - Hypertext transfer protocol






48. Communications cable that consists of one or more glass 0r plastic fiber cores inside a protective cladding material - covered by a plastic PVC outer jacket. Signal transmission along the inside fibers typically uses infrared light.






49. Virture privat network






50. Refers to the IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ab standard for Ethernet communications speed up to 1 Gbps.
