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. Algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame






2. SMTP - simple mail transfer protocol






3. 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






4. Netscape and Microsoft have implemented HTTPS to protect data transported via their Web browsers.






5. Service data unit






6. Multimode fiber






7. A network that links multiple LANs in a large city or metropolitan region.






8. Wide area network






9. Network Layer






10. Every node on the network is connected through a central device like a switch - cannot be disabled by a single malfunction in a workstation - scalable - - popular - expensive - cable malfunction will only effect 2 workstations - more fault tolerant.






11. Process in which an NIDPS look for invalid data packets - packets that are malformed under the rules of the TCP/IP protocol






12. Serial internet protocol






13. FTP - file transfer- control






14. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






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






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






17. Transport layer protocol that services a request without requiring a verified session and without guaranteeing delivery data






18. Facilities necessary for a service provider to connect with another organization LAN or WAN






19. Physical Layer






20. A process in which a digital signature is placed in a driver. The digital signature helps ensure that the driver is tested and is compatible with the operating system and device for which it is written.






21. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers






22. A form of fiber-optic cable that supports only one signal transmission at a time and that is used mainly for long- distance communication.






23. Unique identifying number for a network node; follows a hierarchical addressing scheme; can be assigned through OS software; added to data packets and interpreted by protocols at the Network layer






24. LLC






25. Follow TIA/EIA 568 specifications






26. Large networks 1-126






27. Open System Interconnection






28. 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






29. Total amount of communication cable that make up a network.






30. Standards organizations representing 157 countries headquartered in Geneva. Goal is to establish international standards to facilitate global exchange of information and barrier-free trade






31. Modulates digital into analog in transmitting end and demodulates analog into digital in recieving end






32. Session Layer






33. Several ethernet nodes can be connected and can monitor traffic or access media simultaneously






34. Media access control






35. Set of routines that make up part of a software application






36. What does POP3 stand for?






37. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






38. Plain old telephone service






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






40. (local area network) network of computers and others that is confined to a relatively small space






41. Enables network managers to continuously monitor network activity






42. Network interface card






43. Physical Layer






44. Internet control message protocol






45. Packet a node sends to acknowledge that it received a SYN request for connection; 2nd of three-step connection process






46. Unit of data that results from subdividing a larger protocol data unit






47. Distinct communication path between two or more nodes; may be separated logically or physically






48. Progress of a wave over a time in a relationship






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






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