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. These reside on a computer or appliance connected to network segment and monitor network traffic






2. Process of grouping almost identical alarms occurring at almost same time into single higher-level alarm






3. International society composed of engineering professionals with goals of promoting development and education in the electrical engineering and computer science fields






4. Unit of data at any layer of the OSI model






5. 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.






6. A set of routines that make up part of a software application






7. Control frame that indicates to the rest of the network that a particular node has the right to transmit data






8. Routes packets through network






9. Station transmits a probe that is then replied by the access point






10. Twisted pair patch cable in which the termination locations of the transmit and receive wires on one end of the cable are reversed






11. 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.






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






13. GPO






14. A flexible communications cable that contains pairs of insulated copper wires that are twisted together for reduction of EMI and RFI and covered with an outer insulating jacket.






15. Media access control






16. Which protocol allows the transfer of a file from one computer to another over the network?






17. Running system for a while to track types of false positives it generates and then adjusting IDPS alarm classifications






18. 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.






19. Which protocol is responsible for routing packets around the network?






20. Techniques that employ hardware and software to province assurance against equipment failures - computer service interruptions - and data losses






21. Http - Hypertext transfer protocol






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






23. VPN






24. (local area network) network of computers and others that is confined to a relatively small space






25. Application Layer






26. The cabling or radio waves used to connect one network computer to another - or one network to another - and transport data between them. - Means by which a communications signal is carried from one system to another (for example - twisted-pair wire






27. Specify clients configurations to adhere to this subnet






28. Type of switching for multiple data packets make up the same transmission and use identical paths to reach the destination






29. International telecommunication Union






30. Virture privat network






31. Electromagnetic interference. waves from electrical devices. ex. RFI






32. Consists of activities that deter intrusion






33. Developed by ISO and ANSI - a model that providees a framework for networked hardware and software communication based on seven layers.






34. What does POP3 stand for?






35. Faster wireless standard 20-25






36. PPTP






37. Network layer service that subdivides segments it receives from the Transport layer into smaller packets






38. Assigning a placeholder to each piece of a block of data to allow the receiving node's Transport layer to reassemble the data in the correct order






39. This phase begins and end a PPP session.






40. Follow TIA/EIA 568 specifications






41. Physical Layer






42. 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






43. Extent to which a signal has weakened after traveling a given distance






44. A type of address translation in which each private IP address is correlated with its own Internet-recognized IP address.






45. An Application layer protocol used to retrieve messages from a mail server. When a client retrieves mail via POP - messages previously stored on the mail server are downloaded to the client's workstation - and then deleted from the mail server.






46. The IEEE standard for broadband wireless metropolitan area networking (also known as WiMax)






47. Routing protocol most likely used to replace a router for that handles traffic to and from the companies connection to its NSP






48. An algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame.






49. Network File System






50. Device that can detect intrusion and launch an active response
