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.

3. Method of error checking that determines if the contents of an arriving data unit match the contents of the data unit sent by the source






4. Encompasses actions an organization takes when intrusion is detected






5. A standard method or format for communication between networked devices

13. AFP






14. A physical layer standard that defines a method for building a synchronous telecommunications network based on fiber-optic cables.






15. Control frame that indicates to the rest of the network that a particular node has the right to transmit data






16. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and forwards them to the correct section of the network. Generally more intelligent than a hub and a switch.

46. Signals travel in both directions but only one at a time






47. First set of six characters that make up the MAC address and that are unique to a particular manufacturer






48. A TCP/IP troubleshooting utility that provides information about NetBIOs names and their addresses. If you know the NetBIOs name of a workstation - you can use nbtstat to determine its IP address






49. Ensures reliablity of packet transmissions from node to node - Ensures that data is sent and received in the same order - Provides acknowledgement when a packet is received - Monitors for packet transmission errors and resends bad packets - Breaks la
