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. Transport Layer






2. The most commonly used form of Internet Message Access Protocol.






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






4. Cross talk with 2+ wires






5. A TCP/IP utility that allows you to look up the DNS host name of a network node by specifying its IP address - or vice versa. This is useful for verifying that a hos is configured correctly and for troubleshooting DNS resolution problems






6. Secure CoPy-utility that allows you to copy files securely from host to another






7. RJ 45






8. Signal interference caused by electrical devices that emit radio waves at the same frequency used by network signal transmissions.






9. Works closely with IP in providing error and control information - by allowing hosts to exchange packet status information to help move the packets along the internetwork






10. A network owned and maintained by an organization -such as a campus network operated by a college.






11. A type of point-to-point digital WAN connection that uses standard phone lines to provide high-speed comm.






12. Developed by ISO and ANSI - a model that providees a framework for networked hardware and software communication based on seven layers.






13. NIDPS system that examines network traffic in order to identify problems related to the flow of traffic. Most sensors are passive mode deployment only.






14. An 8-bit character-coding method consisting of 96 uppercase and lowercase characters and numbers - plus 32 nonprinting characters.






15. MSAU






16. A TCP/IP utility that at its simplest returns either to IP address of a host if its host name is specified or its host name if its IP address is specified






17. Ppp tunneling protocol






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






19. 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






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






21. The fact that wireless signals follow a number of paths to their destination






22. Large networks 1-126






23. RAS






24. Large diameter. led/light is generated at different angles. high throughput - high noise resistance - excellent security - and long distances

26. The pattern used to install a network medium






27. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basic without going though an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-Peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resoures - such

31. What type of browser is designed for use on small handheld devices such as palmtop computers and iPhones?






32. Name Of Layer 7






33. Ensures reliablity of packet transmissions from node to node - Ensures that data is sent and received in the same order - Provides acknowledgement when a packet is received - Monitors for packet transmission errors and resends bad packets - Breaks la
