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. Session initiation protocol-performed on VoIP - determines location of endpoints - and establishes sessions between endpoints






2. Refers to the IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ab standard for Ethernet communications speed up to 1 Gbps.






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






4. A command-line utility that combines the functionality of the tracert and ping commands (similar to UNIX's mtr command) and comes with Windows XP - Vista - and Windows Server 2003 and Server 2008






5. Pointing in a direction






6. Establishes maintains and terminates connections






7. Equivalent to OSI Layer 3 Network






8. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






9. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






10. HTTP - SMTP - POP3 - VoIP






11. Decoy systems designed to lure potential attackers away from critical systems






12. Faster networking and inexpensive - flexible - easy to install






13. Decreasing the size of data units when moving data from a network that can handle larger units to one that can handle only smaller units






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






15. Data Link Layer






16. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection






17. Pieces of hardware that connect the wire to the network device






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






19. Network news transfer protocol






20. The NIC and network equipment are set up so they cannot send and receive at the same time






21. Type of interference caused by signals traveling on nearby wire pairs infringing on another pair's signal






22. Measure of frequency equivalent to the number of amplitude cycles per second






23. Application Layer






24. Internet control message protocol






25. A boundary between two zones of trust






26. A network design built by running cable from one PC of file server to the next - like links in a chain.






27. Network cable that contains pairs of insulated wires that are twisted together and surrounded by a shielding material for added EMI and RFI protection - all inside a protective jacket.






28. A logical process of combining bits. In ANDing - a bit with a value of 1 plus another bit with a value of 1 results in a 1. A bit with a value of 0 plus any other bit results in a 0.






29. Allows you and eight coworkers to share a single internet routable IP address






30. PPPoE






31. Which address is split in to four 8-bit parts called octets?






32. 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






33. Computers connected together within a limited geographical area






34. Signal that uses variable voltage to create continuous waves - resulting in an inexact transmission






35. The sender transmits the data to the destination without establishment of a connection.






36. NIS






37. Strategy in which all control functions are applied at the physical location of each IDPS component






38. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






39. RJ 11






40. Media Access Unit (transmitter/ receiver)






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






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






43. A systematic survey of all of the target organization's Internet addresses that is conducted to identify network services offered by hosts in that range






44. An Application layer protocol used to retrieve messages from a mail server. When a client retrieves mail via POP - messages previously stored on the mail server are downloaded to the client's workstation - and then deleted from the mail server.






45. Vulnerability created in a system by a virus or worm which allows the attacker to access the system at will with special privileges.






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






47. The communication between two networking devices for the purposes of the functions defined at a particular layer of a networking model - with the communication happening by using a header defined by that layer of the model. The two devices set values






48. These reside on a computer or appliance connected to network segment and monitor network traffic






49. Speed: 100 Mbps - Alternative name: 10BASE-TX - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3u - Cable Type: Copper - max length 100m






50. IPv4
