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. Progress of a wave over a time in a relationship






2. Internet group management protocol






3. The shorter the wavelength






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






5. BDC






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






7. IP






8. ICA






9. Techniques that employ hardware and software to province assurance against equipment failures - computer service interruptions - and data losses






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






11. MPLS






12. A connector used to terminate coaxial cable used for transmitting television and broadband cable signals






13. Equals a single pulse in the digital encoding system






14. RJ 45






15. American Standard Code for Information Interchange






16. Standard that describes a security technique - wireless networks - in which a port is prevented from receiving traffic until the transmitters credentials are verified by authentication server






17. Time Division Multiple Access






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






19. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






20. Minimum cabling standard for PoE






21. F type (like TV cable) or BNC (crimped)






22. Wrapping one layer's PDU with protocol information so that it can be interpreted by a lower layer






23. 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.






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






25. Scrambles information into an alternative form that requires a key or password to decrypt the information.






26. 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






27. 7th layer; protocols enable software programs to negotiate formatting - procedural - security - synchronization - and other requirements with the network






28. Data circuit-terminating equipment. multiplexer or modem






29. Best fault tolerance






30. Service that supports email






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






32. This phase determines how often systems should send each other quality statistics.






33. 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.






34. Moving from one BSS to another without losing connectivity






35. Connector with 9 pins - commonly used in a serial communication that conforms to the rs-232 standard






36. Cause by EMI/RFI - and other packets - interference on the signal






37. A private network that functions like a tunnel though a large network-such as the Internet or an enterprise network-that is restricted to designated member clients only.






38. A variation of CHAP designed by Microsoft






39. Panel of data receptors into which twisted pair wire is inserted to complete a circuit






40. The oldest type of network design - this topology consists of multiple nodes attached to a central hub - switch - or router.






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






42. MMF






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






44. IMAP4






45. Is a system that is distributed throughout the internetwork to provide address/name resolution.






46. Is part of theTCP/IP protcol suite and used to retrive e-mail from a remote server to a local client over a TCP/IP connection






47. Length of time it takes for a packet to go from sender to receiver - then back to sender; measured in milliseconds






48. 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






49. Data Link sublayer that manages flow control






50. Saturation of network bandwidth caused by excessive traffic - as when a large number of computers or devices attemp to transmit simultaneously - or when computers or devices presist in transmitting repeatedly.
