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






2. Reverse address resolution protocol






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






4. A remote connection where the client computer is a low-end computer that communicates with a terminal server.






5. 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.






6. Software that is stored on a chip in a device - such as in a ROM - and that typically composes some type of system software






7. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable in which the light-based signals follow uniform curved routes inside the cable - resulting in signals that all arrive at the same time and with less long-distance distortion than step-index cable.






8. A transport system that uses the CSMA/CD access method for data transmission on a network. Typically it is implemented in a bus or star-bus hybrid topology.






9. Ethernet cable - high resistance to noise - networks are RG 6






10. Honey pot that has been protected so it cannot be easily compromised






11. Experimentation 240-255






12. 1000 representatives from industry and gov't who determine standards for electronics - chemical and nuclear engineering - health and safety - and construction






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






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






15. POP3






16. Network cable that contains pairs of insulated wires that are twisted together and surrounded by a shielding material for added EMI and RFI protection - all inside a protective jacket.






17. 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.






18. Slow wireless standard 11-18 throughput






19. Small Form Plug-gables - Plugs in to an interface on a switch






20. Internet control message protocol






21. Multimode fiber






22. Positive and zero. 1 and 0's.






23. Round time trip. time it takes for packet to get from sender to receiver and back






24. A resistor that is connected to the end of a segment on a bus network - so that data-carrying signals are absorbed at the point where the segment stops. Absorbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end






25. Controls how applications access network






26. Secure sockets layer-encyrpts TCP/IP transmission including web forms- en route b/w the client server using public key encryption technology






27. 4th layer; protocols ensure that data are transferred from point A to point B reliably and without errors; services include flow control - acknowledgment - error correction - segmentation - reassembly - and sequencing






28. Coordinates and maintains communications between two nodes on the network






29. Defines host IP in packet headers






30. MDIX






31. Application Layer






32. The NIC and network equipment are set up so they cannot send and receive at the same time






33. Type of sensor deployed in such a way that the network traffic it is monitoring must pass through it.






34. Connects networks larger than a LAN - but smaller than a WAN






35. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and broadcasts them out to the rest of the network.






36. The <html> - <head> and <body> tags are all examples of ________ tags






37. A digital communication service that uses the same network infrastructure as PSTN - but is expensive






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






39. T1






40. An internetwork is two or more computer networks connected together.






41. ARP






42. An 8-bit character-coding method consisting of 96 uppercase and lowercase characters and numbers - plus 32 nonprinting characters.






43. Gives each node unique address






44. Is a TCP/IP service that converts a computer or domain name to an IP address or that converts an IP address to a computer or domain name.






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






46. VPN






47. IRC






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






49. Data Link Layer






50. FTP - file transfer- control
