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. PAP






2. Dynamic host configuration protocol






3. ACL






4. This phase begins and end a PPP session.






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






6. A wireless station listens on all channels for a bacon frame from an access point






7. IMAP4






8. DSU






9. A standard method or format for communication between networked devices






10. Electronics industries Alliance






11. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






12. Frequency hoping spread spectrum: a signal jumps between several different frequencies






13. CIFS






14. 1000 representatives from industry and gov't who determine standards for electronics - chemical and nuclear engineering - health and safety - and construction






15. Consists of procedures and systems that identify system intrusions






16. A cable that consists of a single cable sheath containing a combination of fibers and copper cable.






17. Secure Shell






18. FDDI






19. A network transport control method used in Ethernet networks. It regulates transmission by sensing the presence of packet collisions.






20. 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.






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






22. 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






23. Signals composed ot pulses that can have a value of only 1 or 0






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






25. Used to resolve NetBIOS names w IP address






26. Small network 192-223






27. A medium that carries 1 signal






28. A single physical/non-physical medium for connecting computers






29. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






30. Knows which VLAN a stream of data belongs to by reading a tad added to each frames header






31. Ppp tunneling protocol






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






33. Analog - only one direction. radio frequency analog waves w differences in frequency. expensive - longer distance. ex. cable TV






34. Prevents two nodes transmitting at the same time






35. 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.






36. A TCP/IP utility that at its simplest returns either to IP address of a host if its host name is specified or its host name if its IP address is specified






37. Theoretical. difference b/w highest and lowest frequency.






38. Two communication systems establish 2-way communication prior to the exchange of data






39. The sender transmits the data to the destination without establishment of a connection.






40. Value placed upon an IDPS's ability to detect/identify certain attacks correctly






41. Consists of single cable that connects all nodes on a network without intervening connectivity devices - inexpensive - hard to find source of error - not very fault tolerant - data is transmitted in one direction in the ring.






42. Experimentation 240-255






43. Data Link Layer






44. Rules determining the format and transmission of data






45. Amplitude modulation-amplitude of signal is modified






46. Process of directing a datagram from its source through an internetwork to its destination using the most efficient path.






47. Model for understanding and developing computer-to-computer communication developed in the 80s by ISO; divides networking functions among 7 layers






48. A switching method that enables multiple devices to communicate over the same commnications medium by creating time slots in which each device transmits.






49. Regular voice-grade telephone service.






50. Basic error checking and correction
