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.

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






18. Segment






19. 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






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






21. Layer 4






22. Method of trasmitting data from a satellite






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

31. SSH - secure shell






32. Unix command at shell prompt to send a file to printer






33. Which layer is responsible for putting data into frames as well as providing error checking data?






34. A form of address translation that uses Tcp port numbers to distinguish each client's transmission - thus allowing multiple clients to share a limited number of Internet-recognized IP addresses.
