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. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a station.






2. AM






3. Brief delay in processing - length of cable can contribute to this






4. IS designed for the exchange of electronic mail between networked systems -such as between mail servers over a TCP/IP network






5. Describes a theoretical representation of what happens between two nodes communicating on a network






6. Best fault tolerance






7. Theoretical. difference b/w highest and lowest frequency.






8. Progress of a wave over a time in a relationship






9. 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






10. Loop back address for IPv6






11. Used with single mode or multi mode fiber optic cable






12. Error detection and correction






13. Aka main cross-connect - first point of interconnection between an organization's LAN or WAN and a service provider's facility






14. The placement of data from a higher-layer protocol behind the header (and in some cases - between a header and trailer) of the next-lower-layer protocol. For example - an IP packet could be encapsulated in an Ethernet header and trailer before being






15. Firewalls perform two basic security functions






16. Manages network communication - available on a CD-ROM for example - that is used to manage communications and how frames or packets are sent using a protocol.






17. CIFS






18. A term used to refer to data within the Data-link layer of the OSI model.






19. Which protocol allows users to send emails?






20. Similar to bus topology - but the ends are connected






21. Hubs and switches work here






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






23. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure






24. Synchronises data exchange






25. Value placed upon an IDPS's ability to detect/identify certain attacks correctly






26. Representatives from electronics manufacturers across the US that sets standards for electronic equipment and lobbies for legislation favorable to the growth of the computer and electronics industries






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






28. Associates a MAC address with a given IP address - reverse ARP






29. An error condition on a token ring network that indicates one or more nodes is not functioning.






30. Network device that makes high-level application connections on behalf of internal hosts and other machines






31. Begins when a system that initiated the connection transmits a PPP frame.






32. Which class of IP address would be allocated to a very large company?






33. Multiplexing technique use over single-mode or multimode fiber-optic cable in which each signal is assigned a different wavelength for its carrier wave; little space exists between carrier waves






34. A generic term for data being transmitted






35. An IP addressing and subnetting method in which network and host information is manipulated without adhering to the limitations imposed by traditional network class distinctions. CIDR is also known as classless routing or supernetting. Older routing






36. DSU






37. Internet Engineering Task Force






38. Which layer in the OSI network model handles data format information for networked communications?






39. TFTP - trivial file transfer protocol






40. Two twisted wire pairs. It's the oldes type and is only voice grade - it isn't rated for data communication.






41. A far-reaching system of networks that usually extends over approximately 48 kilometers (about 30 miles) and often reaches across states and continents.






42. A series of interconnected computers - printing devices - and other computer equipment that share hardware and software resources. The services area usually is limited to a given office - floor - or building.






43. Set of routines that make up part of a software application






44. 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






45. A type of transmission in which there are several transmission channels on a communications medium - allowing more than one node to transmit at the same time.






46. Traces path from one network node to another - identifying all intermediate hops b/w two nodes






47. When pulses that represent bits follow one another along a single transmission






48. Communications cable that has no shielding material between the pair of insulated wires twisted together and the cable's outside jacket.






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






50. Application Layer
