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. Trivial File Transfer Protocol






2. Also called the physical or device address - the hexadecimal number permanently assigned to a network interface and used by the MAC sublayer within the DATA Link layer (Layer 2).






3. Package for data that includes not only the data - or 'payload -' but also the sender's and recipient's addressing and control information. Generated at the Data Link layer and issued to the Physical layer






4. The cableing or radio waves used to connect one network computer to another - or one network to another - and transport data between them.






5. A very high speed - long distance media that consists of a single strand of fiber glass that carries the signals. Can transmit data 50 times further than multimode fiber at a faster rate






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






7. MSAU






8. OU






9. Determines the network path on which to route packets - Help reduce network congestion - Establishes virtual circuits - Routes packets to other networks - resequencing packet transmissions when needed - Translates between protocols






10. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol






11. MAU






12. A standard for encoding and interpreting binary files - images - video - and non-ASCII character sets within an e-mail message.






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






14. Provides a generic method of transferring files






15. Amount of data that can be transmitted over media or wireless at a time.






16. Layer 4






17. Application Layer






18. Attachment Unit Interface Cable equipped with 15 pin connectors






19. User friendly web addresses are translated into IP addresses by the...






20. A network whose access is restricted to only clients or machines with proper credentials.






21. (fix) if analog an amplifier or if digital with repeater






22. Routing protocol most likely used to replace a router for that handles traffic to and from the companies connection to its NSP






23. HTTPS - Secure implementation of HTTP






24. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 100 Mhz - but capable of handling the disturbance on eash pair that's caused by transmitting on all four pairs at the same time.






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






26. The cabling or radio waves used to connect one network computer to another - or one network to another - and transport data between them. - Means by which a communications signal is carried from one system to another (for example - twisted-pair wire






27. Transport Layer






28. The information transfered between layers in the same OSI stack






29. Internet Layer






30. PPTP






31. Can use WPA to improve the security of data in transit






32. A device that can transmit and receive - such as transmitting and receiving signals on a communication cable






33. Data Link Layer






34. RSA






35. A connector that is used for thin coax cable and that has a boyonet-like shell.






36. CIFS






37. Radio frequency interference. interference caused by radio.






38. Short tube within a fiber-optic cable connector that encircles the fiber strand and keeps in properly aligned






39. Application Layer






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






41. Multimode fiber






42. 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






43. A transport system that uses the CSMA/CD access method for data transmission on a network. Typically it is implemented in a bus or star-bus hybrid topology.






44. 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.






45. Cabling that transmit data using light waves. Higher bandwidth than other types of cabling.






46. Also called the star-ring hybrid - topology - a network design in which the logic communication are in a ring - but the phyical layout of the network star.






47. The medium that carries multiple signals simultaneously






48. Data Link Layer






49. Open Systems Interconnection model






50. Activities finalize restoration of operations to a normal state and seek to identify source and method of intrusion to ensure same type of attack cannot occur again
