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. Application Layer






2. This layer in the OSI network model manages log on procedures and password recognition.






3. IPX & SPX






4. Occurs when attacker attempts to gain entry or disrupt normal operations of information systems - almost always with intent to do harm






5. Central component of a cable designed to carry a signal






6. Network Layer






7. The physical layout of cable and wireless network devices and the logical path followed by network frames or packets sent on the cable or by wireless transmissions.






8. A data encryption technique employed between a server and a client - such as between a client's browser and an Internet server.






9. Dynamic host configuration protocol






10. An established guideline that specifies how networked data is formatted into a packet or frame - how it is transmitted - and how it is interpreted at the receiving end.






11. Four twisted wire pairs with three twists per foot. This type can handle transmissions up to 16 MHz. Now limited to telecommunication equipment






12. A network design consisting of a continuous path for data with no logical beginning or ending point - and thus no terminators.






13. Has 25 pins also commonly used with serial communication that conforms to the rs-232 standard






14. IMAP4






15. Transmission control Protocol/Internet protocol






16. 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.






17. Application Layer






18. A type of address translation in which a limited pool of internet-valid IP addresses is shared by multiple private network hosts.






19. Method of gauging the appropriate rate of data transmission based on how fast he recipient can accept data






20. Specify clients configurations to adhere to this subnet






21. DNS - Domain name system






22. Application Layer






23. A medium that carries 1 signal

28. To make more efficient use of limited numbers of legitimate IP addressing






29. An error detection method that calculates a value for the total size of the information fields contained in a frame. The value is inserted near the end of a frame by the Data Link layer on the sending node - and checked by the Data Link layer on the






30. Packet one node sends to request a connection with another; 1st of three-step process of establishing a connection
