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. Initiates the communication link - Makes sure the communication link is maintained - Determines which node transmits at any point in time - such as which one transmits first - Disconnectd when a communication session is over - Translates node address






2. The _____________ allows computers to 'talk' to themselves on a different port.






3. A termination unit also called a transceiver or DSL modem






4. Where demarc is located if an organization follows structured cabling standards






5. Allows for secure interactive control of remote systems






6. Physical Layer






7. Cyclic redundancy check






8. Allows clients to communicate in different floors






9. Any end device on the network (for example: computers - printers - copy machines...)






10. Plain old telephone service






11. User datagram protocol






12. Reverse address resolution protocol






13. RADIUS






14. Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection






15. Tracks running and graphing data from any workstations. should ensure that new routers and switches can support it in order to easily automate network management






16. Similar to bus topology - but the ends are connected






17. AD






18. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






19. Aversion of the traceroute utility found on some Linux distributions.






20. IIS






21. NAT






22. Receives a signal on one end - interprets it as 0 & 1 - then generates a new clean signal on the other end.






23. Virtually local area network-device-switch






24. Which layer in the OSI network model handles data format information for networked communications?






25. A technique for transmitting data over a network by encapsulating it within another protocol.






26. A physical layer standard that defines a method for building a synchronous telecommunications network based on fiber-optic cables.






27. Layer 3






28. Domain Name System






29. For fiber-optic cable communications - the difference between the transmitted power and the receiver sensitivity - as measured in decibels. It is the minimum transmitter power and receiver sensitivity needed for a signal to be sent and received fully






30. IPv4






31. Point to point protocol






32. LDAP






33. HTTP/web/internet - change this port to make it more difficult for someone to connect to your web server






34. Asynchronous digital subscriber line. Method of providing internet service that uses the standard phone line - but transmits data at a different frequency than voice. Faster than ISDN.






35. Specify clients configurations to adhere to this subnet






36. System founded on using 1s and 0s to encode information






37. The process of checking a communication medium - such as cable - for a voltage level - signal transition - or light - indicating the presence of a data-carrying signal.






38. IEEE standard for Ethernet devices and data handling






39. Device used to regenerate a signal






40. IEEE standard for error and flow control in data frames






41. Manually specify on each workstation so that their users can pick up their internet email from the linux email server






42. The process of attracting attention to a system by placing tantalizing information in key locations.






43. A private computer network with resources accessible only to internal members.






44. IPv6 addressing - multicast group






45. Two twisted wire pairs. It's the oldes type and is only voice grade - it isn't rated for data communication.






46. More reliable then analog - noise doesn't affect as much - more efficient - fewer errors






47. Layer 1






48. Http - Hypertext transfer protocol






49. Time Division Multiple Access






50. 5 segments b/w two nodes - 4 repeating devices - and 3 segments connected by two repeating devices
