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. Produces guidelines for how network cable should be installed in commercial buildings






2. A network design in which every node is connected to every other note - achieving fault tolerance.






3. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






4. Term that describes current anti-intrusion technologies






5. An app. that provides centralized authentication and authorization services for a network.






6. This layer in the OSI network model breaks up the files into packets to allow them to be sent around the network.






7. Delay between the transmission of a signal and its receipt






8. Equivalent to OSI Layer 2 Data Link & Layer 1 Physical






9. Translates data to a format the receiving node understands - such as from EBCDIC to ASCII - Performs data encryption - Performs data compression






10. As defined by the EIA/TIA-568 standard - cabling that connects workstations and servers in the work area.






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






12. AD






13. 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






14. A cable TV company - such as Comcast Broadband.






15. Appends physical address of destination computer onto the frame






16. Prevents two nodes transmitting at the same time






17. Physical Layer






18. UN agency that regulates international telecommunications and provides developing countries with technical expertise and equipment to advance their technological bases






19. Occurs when attacker attempts to gain entry or disrupt normal operations of information systems - almost always with intent to do harm






20. NTP






21. Unshielded twisted pair






22. Determines the network path on which to route packets - Help reduce network congestion - Establishes virtual circuits - Routes packets to other networks - resequencing packet transmissions when needed - Translates between protocols






23. The device inside a computer that connect a computer to the network media






24. Domain Name System






25. The process of reconstructing segmented data






26. A gateway that operates on the Internet backbone.






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






28. Amount of data that can be transmitted over media or wireless at a time.






29. Device that modulates analog signals into digital signals for transmission over telephone lines - and demodulates digital signals into analog for the receiving end






30. Pipeline used to contain and protect cabling; usually made from metal






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






32. RSA






33. Telephone jacks






34. IEEE standard for token ring devices and data handling






35. A unit of data formatted for transmission over a network that contains control and other information that corresponds to the OSI Networklayer; also called Layer 3.






36. A series of interconnected computers - printing devices - and other computer equipment that share hardware and software resources. The services area usually is limited to a given office - floor - or building.






37. Manages IP address allocation and the domain name system






38. (metropolitan area network) used with a handful of buildings and larger then a LAN - connects two or more Lans






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






40. 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.






41. Which protocol is responsible for splitting data into packets and adding a header to each one?






42. Glass/plastic - light pulses high throughput - resistant to noise - most expensive cable






43. Application that will allow you to configure the workstation to tally these errors and send you and email message every time a problem occured






44. Manages end-to-end delivery of data






45. Metropolitan area network






46. Network layer device
