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






2. 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






3. This layer in the OSI transforms bits into electromagnetic signals.






4. 12-character string that uniquely identifies a network node - hard coded into the NIC by the manufacturer; composed ot the block ID and device ID






5. Twist wire so you don't get interference on the memory






6. A private network that functions like a tunnel through a larger network






7. As defined by the EIA/TIA-568 standard - cable that runs between network equipment rooms - floors - and buildings.






8. On a computer that receives data over a network - the process in which the device interprets the lower-layer headers and - when finished with each header - removes the header - revealing the next-higher-layer PDU.






9. Cause by EMI/RFI - and other packets - interference on the signal






10. The combination of an IP address's network ID and subnet information. By interpreting the address's extended network prefix - a device can determine the subnet to which an address belongs.






11. Connection based






12. A Data Link sublayer that examines addressing information contained in a network frame and controls how devices share communications on the same network.






13. Security measure verifies that your user name and password are contained in the NOS directory






14. RJ 45






15. An established guideline that specifies how networked data is formatted into a packet or frame - how it is transmitted - and how it is interpreted at the receiving end.






16. A connector used to terminate coaxial cable used for transmitting television and broadband cable signals






17. HTTP - SMTP - POP3 - VoIP






18. Single mode fiber






19. A gateway that operates on the Internet backbone.






20. IS designed for the exchange of electronic mail between networked systems -such as between mail servers over a TCP/IP network






21. Device that separates broadcast domain






22. Speed: 10 Mbps - Alternative Name: 10BASE-T - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3 - Cable Type: Copper - max length 100 meters






23. IDPS that uses profiles to detect anomalous protocol behavior






24. Provides strung security for HTTP- transpored information - but it is only used by some vendor's application






25. Ppp over ethernet






26. Unshielded twisted pair






27. A data communications technique that transmits a packet directly from the sending node - though a switch - and to the receiving node - without passing though other network nodes.






28. The most commonly used form of Post office protocol.






29. An established guidline that specifies how networked data is formatted into packet or frame - how it is transmitted - and how it is interpreted at the receiving end.






30. Defines the physical characteristics of the network






31. Translated network addresses into their physical counterparts






32. Useful for troubleshooting a network connectivity problem from workstation to another workstation






33. Provides FTP - HTTP - SMTP...






34. Is used to enable IP address to be assigned automatically by a DHCP server on a network.






35. Shielded twisted pair






36. (fix) if analog shield twisted pairs or if digital with a repeater






37. Groups of workstations are star connect to connectivity devices and then networked via single bus - cover long distances - easy to interconnect - more expensive - ethernet






38. Physical Layer






39. First part of the datagram - which consists of general information about the size of the packet - the protocol that was used to send it - and the IP address of both the source computer and its destination.






40. Scrambles information into an alternative form that requires a key or password to decrypt the information.






41. SMTP - simple mail transfer protocol






42. Provides services for applications






43. A route discovery and analysis utility that comes with UNIX and Linux operating systems. Mtr combines with functions of the ping and traceroute commands and delivers an easily readable chart as its output






44. Routes packets through network






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






46. IGMP






47. Bus topology: A network design built by running cable from one PC or file server to the next - like links in a chain.






48. Event that triggers alarm when no actual attack is in progress






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






50. IDPS's ability to dynamically modify its configuration in response to environmental activity
