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. Developed by ISO and ANSI - a model that providees a framework for networked hardware and software communication based on seven layers.






2. POP3 - post office protocol 3






3. 5 segments b/w two nodes - 4 repeating devices - and 3 segments connected by two repeating devices






4. Allows for secure interactive control of remote systems






5. Electromagnetic interference. waves from electrical devices. ex. RFI






6. 3rd layer; protocols translate network addresses into their physical counterparts and decide how to route data from the sender to the receiver






7. Satellite used for broadband internet access






8. Gives each node unique address






9. Slow wireless standard 11-18 throughput






10. A generic term referring to the header defined by some layer of a networking model - and the data encapsulated by the header ( and possibly trailer) of that layer - but specifically not including an lower-layer headers and trailers.






11. IEEE standard describing specifications for wireless transmissions






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






13. Network layer device






14. Using part of a leased line






15. An IDPS that resides on particular computer or server (the host) and monitors activity only on that system. Also known as system integrity verifiers.






16. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






17. 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.






18. Station transmits a probe that is then replied by the access point






19. A device that can transmit and receive - such as transmitting and receiving signals on a communication cable






20. Error detection and correction






21. Which protocol is responsible for splitting data into packets and adding a header to each one?






22. Works closely with IP in providing error and control information - by allowing hosts to exchange packet status information to help move the packets along the internetwork






23. Ethernet cable - high resistance to noise - networks are RG 6






24. Manually specify on each workstation so that their users can pick up their internet email from the linux email server






25. Speed: 1000 Mbps - Altenative name: 1000BASE-T - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3ab - Cable type: copper max length 100m






26. Short reach. only multimode-max length is 500. baseband transmission. 1000 mpbs.






27. The most commonly used form of Post office protocol.






28. Pieces of hardware that connect the wire to the network device






29. The sender transmits the data to the destination without establishment of a connection.






30. Protocol data unit






31. A value or means of identifying a service on a network node - such as socket or port 103 for standerdized e-mail services in the TCP protocol.






32. Signals traveling on one wire infringes on the signal traveling over an adjacent wire






33. The general topic of how on one computer - two adjacent layers in a networking architectural model work together - with the lower layer proving services to the higher layer.






34. Physical Layer






35. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






36. The process of attracting attention to a system by placing tantalizing information in key locations.






37. In TCP - a term used to describe a TCP header and its encapsulated data (also called an L4PDU). Also in TCP - the process of accepting a large chunk of data from the application layer and breaking it into smaller pieces that fit into TCP segments. In






38. Network layer service that subdivides segments it receives from the Transport layer into smaller packets






39. Also called the star-wired ring topology - a network design in which the logic communication are in a ring - but the phyical layout of the network star.






40. On a cable-TV WAN - a central receiving point for signals from various sources - including satellite - major cable sources - and local tevevision sources.






41. Transport Layer






42. Ethernet NICs listen on network and wait until they detect no other nodes transmitting data






43. Activities finalize restoration of operations to a normal state and seek to identify source and method of intrusion to ensure same type of attack cannot occur again






44. Time division multiplexing






45. A network that offers services to members of the public - such as network services offered by a telecommunications company or a cable TV company.






46. Equivalent to OSI Layer 3 Network






47. Provides th transfer medium (such as cable) - Translates data into a transmission signal appropriate to the transfer medium - Sends the signal along the transfer medium - Includes the pyical layout of the network - Monitors for transmission error - D
