IT: Networking Vocab

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. Event that triggers alarm when no actual attack is in progress






2. PPP






3. Intelligently direct data between networks based on addressing - patterns of usage - and availability of network segments






4. The wave splits into secondary waves






5. Data only






6. Distance between corresponding points on cycle






7. Controls how applications access network






8. The scheme for assigning a unique identifying number to every node on a network






9. A thin coaxial cable usually RG-58






10. Private connection from a LAN to an internet service provider.






11. Equivalent to OSI Layer 2 Data Link & Layer 1 Physical






12. Connector used with single mode and multimode fiber optic cable






13. Layer 4 Troubleshooting






14. ISDN






15. Is a host-to-host protocol like TCP - however it does not include mechanisms for ensuring timely delivery






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. Used to determine where patch cable for a specific server terminates on the patch panel - and checks for the presence of noise on a wire






18. A computer that accesses another computer - such as a workstation that accesses a shared file on another workstation - server - or mainframe. The client may use the accessed computer (host) to process data - or may process accessed data using its own






19. Transport Layer






20. You may set up a web server on companys access server - allowing global connections - for employees to access






21. Each computer is connected to a central device






22. SMTP - simple mail transfer protocol






23. Area above the ceiling tile or below the subfloor in a building






24. Network segment that contains end nodes - such as workstations






25. A specialized UN agency that provides developing countries with technical expertise and equipment






26. Actual. how much data is transmitted during given time






27. Helps you identify percentage of traffic that compromises broadcasts






28. Requires many pulses to transmit same info that an analog can transmit in a wave






29. An organization composed of more than 100 representatives from industry and government who together determine standards for the electronics industry in addition to other fields - such as chemical and nuclear engineering.






30. Signals on bus that would travel endlessly between two nodes






31. This layer in the OSI network model breaks up the files into packets to allow them to be sent around the network.






32. Largest data unit a network will accept for transmission






33. 4th layer; protocols ensure that data are transferred from point A to point B reliably and without errors; services include flow control - acknowledgment - error correction - segmentation - reassembly - and sequencing






34. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






35. Attachment Unit Interface Cable equipped with 15 pin connectors






36. Device that separates a medium into multiple channels and issues signals to each of those subchannels






37. Form of transmission that allows multiple signals to travel simultaneously over one medium






38. OSPF






39. A type of cabling that includes pairs of copper conductors - twisted around each other - inside a metal or foil shield. This type of medium can support faster speeds than unshielded wiring






40. Direct-sequence spread spectrum: signal bits are distributed over a frequency band






41. Presentation Layer






42. Device with little - if any - of it's own processing or disk capacity; depends on a host to supply it with applications and data-processing services






43. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable in which the light-based signals follow uniform curved routes inside the cable - resulting in signals that all arrive at the same time and with less long-distance distortion than step-index cable.






44. Service that supports email






45. Anything - hardware or software - that monitors transmission of packets of digital information that attempt to pass the perimeter of a network






46. CHAP






47. LLC






48. Junction point between the MDF and concentrations of fewer connections; those that terminate in a telecommunications closet






49. Method of trasmitting data from a satellite






50. Unshielded twisted pair
