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. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and passes them on to other parts of the network. Generally more intelligent than a hub.






2. Equivalent to OSI Layer 3 Network






3. Application layer protocol that formulates and interprets requests between Web clients and servers






4. Used with single mode or multi mode fiber optic cable






5. Braided metal shielding used to insulate some types of coaxial cable






6. Similar to FTP. lets you transfer files between a host and an FTP server






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






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






9. Intelligently direct data between networks based on addressing - patterns of usage - and availability of network segments






10. CSMA / CD






11. Documented agreement containing technical specifications or other precise criteria used as guidelines to ensure that materials - products - processes - and services suit their intended purpose






12. Reflection in multiple different directions of a signal






13. Set of protocols that specify how wireless networks works. Most common are currently B and G. N is an emerging standard.






14. Device with little - if any - of it's own processing or disk capacity; depends on a host to supply it with applications and data-processing services






15. Resistance that contributes to controlling an electrical signal; measured in ohms






16. T1






17. GPO






18. An advantage of networks






19. Supplying electrical power through ethernet






20. What does POP3 stand for?






21. Is used to route electronic mail through the internetwork






22. Associates a MAC address with a given IP address - reverse ARP






23. You may set up a web server on companys access server - allowing global connections - for employees to access






24. A service provided with Windows 98 - Me - 2000 - and 32-bit versions of XP operating systems that allows one computer - the ICS host - to share its Internet connection with other computers on the same network.






25. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol






26. Hardware device typically used to connect multiple LANs






27. Field in a frame responsible for ensuring that data carried by the frame arrives intact. Uses an algorithm - such as CRC - to accomplish verification






28. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable that reflects the light-based signals like a mirror within the cable - resulting in different signals arriving at different times and with an increased likeihood of distortion over longer cable runs.






29. Transport Layer






30. An International organization of scientists - engineers - technicians - and educators that play a leading role in developing standards for network cabling and data transmissions.






31. The wave bounces back when encountering an object






32. Media Access Unit (transmitter/ receiver)






33. DNS - Domain name system






34. Ethernet communications at speeds up to 100 Mbps as defined under the IEEE 802.3u standard.






35. The NIC and network equipment are set up so that they have the capacity to send and receive simultaneously. which is possible because od buffering at the NIC.






36. A computer on a network that requests services or resources from another computer on a network






37. Serial internet protocol






38. PAP






39. Also called coax - a network cable medium that consists of a copper core - surrounded by insulation.






40. Can use WPA to improve the security of data in transit






41. In TCP - a term used to describe a TCP header and its encapsulated data (also called an L4PDU). Also in TCP - the process of accepting a large chunk of data from the application layer and breaking it into smaller pieces that fit into TCP segments. In






42. CHAP






43. Subgroup of EIA that focuses on standards for information technology - wireless - satellite - fiber optics - and telephone equipment; best known for network cable installation guidelines (TIA/EIA 568-B Series)






44. The process in which an attacker obtains confidential information by contacting employees and deceiving them into giving up passwords - IP addresses - server names - and so on.






45. Defines host IP in packet headers






46. Communications arrangement in which a single transmitter issues signals to multiple - defined recipients






47. Enables network managers to continuously monitor network activity






48. Strategy that combines the best of the other two strategies; while individual agents still analyze and respond to local threats - their reporting to a hierarchical central facility enables the organization to detect widespread attacks






49. Signal interference caused by magnetic force field generated by electrical devices such as motors.






50. A logical communication path established by the OSI Network layer for sending and receiving data.
