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. Manages IP address allocation and the domain name system






2. Process of grouping almost identical alarms occurring at almost same time into single higher-level alarm






3. Address resolution protocol






4. IDPS that examines network traffic in search of patterns that match known signatures






5. SSH






6. Is used to enable IP address to be assigned automatically by a DHCP server on a network.






7. Receives a signal on one end - interprets it as 0 & 1 - then generates a new clean signal on the other end.






8. Frame






9. Basic error checking and correction






10. Connects networks larger than a LAN - but smaller than a WAN






11. Unique identifying number for a network node; follows a hierarchical addressing scheme; can be assigned through OS software; added to data packets and interpreted by protocols at the Network layer






12. Network Layer






13. Interference that may be generated by broadcast signals from radio or TV towers






14. Set of protocols that specify how wireless networks works. Most common are currently B and G. N is an emerging standard.






15. Type of interference that may be caused by motors - power lines - televisions - copiers - etc






16. DC






17. The seventh layer of the OSI model. Application layer protocols enable software programs to negotiate formatting - procedural - security - synchronization - and other requirements with the network.






18. A resistor that is connected to the end of a segment on a bus network - so that data-carrying signals are absorbed at the point where the segment stop. Aborbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end-t






19. IEEE standard for error and flow control in data frames






20. Signals travel in one direction






21. SNMP






22. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol






23. The way nodes responds to a collision






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






25. A network transport control method used in Ethernet networks. It regulates transmission by sensing the presence of packet collisions.






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






27. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers






28. Transmission that involves one transmitter and multiple - undefined receivers






29. IIS






30. Crimp into pins 1 and 2 of RJ 45 connector






31. 1000 representatives from industry and gov't who determine standards for electronics - chemical and nuclear engineering - health and safety - and construction






32. Radio frequency interference. interference caused by radio.






33. CDFS






34. Tool used to determine whether a customers line is obtaining dial tone from the CO






35. Radio frequency interference






36. Software that is stored on a chip in a device - such as in a ROM - and that typically composes some type of system software






37. The capacity to send and receive signals at the same time on the same medium.






38. 6th layer; protocols translate between Application and Network layers; data are formatted so that the network can understand - with the format varying according to the type of network; manages data encryption and decryption - such as scrambling of sy






39. A network that any user can access with no restrictions. the most familiar example of a public network is the Internet






40. Equivalent to OSI Layer 3 Network






41. What is the currency of Denmark?






42. Name Of Layer 1






43. Electronics industries Alliance






44. Allows for secure interactive control of remote systems






45. Ppp tunneling protocol






46. Cross talk that occurs between wire pairs near the source of a signal






47. End-user device - such as a workstation - terminal - or console






48. Data Link Layer






49. Routing protocol has the poorest convergence time






50. 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.
