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. An IDPS that resides on particular computer or server (the host) and monitors activity only on that system. Also known as system integrity verifiers.






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






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






4. Network-max segment length-100 meters






5. 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.






6. Time division multiplexing






7. Does not operate at the application layer






8. Set of routines that make up part of a software application






9. Each computer is connected to a central device






10. ATM






11. The wave splits into secondary waves






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






13. Pulses of precise - positive voltages and zero voltages (binary)






14. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






15. 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.






16. Hardware that constitutes the enterprise-wide cabling system






17. Wrapping one layer's PDU with protocol information so that it can be interpreted by a lower layer






18. Is used to route electronic mail through the internetwork






19. More reliable then analog - noise doesn't affect as much - more efficient - fewer errors






20. FTP is an application that enables the transfer of data from one remote device to another - using TCP/IP






21. IKE






22. The gateway that first interprets a device's outbound requests - and then interprets its inbound requests to and from other subnets.






23. Defines the physical characteristics of the network






24. A value or means of identifying a service on a network node - such as socket or port 103 for standerdized e-mail services in the TCP protocol.






25. The physical layout of cable and wireless network devices and the logical path followed by network frames or packets sent on the cable or by wireless transmissions.






26. FM






27. Helps you identify percentage of traffic that compromises broadcasts






28. Process in which an NIDPS inspects the higher-order protocols (HTTP - FTP - Telnet) are examined for unexpected packet behavior or improper use






29. A network that links multiple LAN's in large city or metropolitan region.






30. A TCP/IP troubleshooting utility that provides information about NetBIOs names and their addresses. If you know the NetBIOs name of a workstation - you can use nbtstat to determine its IP address






31. CNAME






32. 1-126






33. One transmitter issues signals to multiple receivers; receivers may be undefined or defined






34. Source emits a RTS (request to send) signal to the access point - and the access point replies with CTS (clear to send) for the source to begin its transmission






35. Transport Layer






36. This layer in the OSI network model manages log on procedures and password recognition.






37. Which protocol provides the user with many functions of the world wide web?






38. Length of time it takes for a packet to go from sender to receiver - then back to sender; measured in milliseconds






39. Secures messages being transmitted on the internet - uses RSA for authentication and encyption.






40. Zeroconf






41. Address Resolution Protocol






42. System founded on using 1s and 0s to encode information






43. The most commonly used form of Post office protocol.






44. A connector that is used for thin coax cable and that has a boyonet-like shell.






45. 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






46. Large diameter. led/light is generated at different angles. high throughput - high noise resistance - excellent security - and long distances






47. Basic service set: a group of stations that share an access point






48. Also called the star-wired ring topology - a network design in which the logic communication are in a ring - but the phyical layout of the network star.






49. Most common cabling used in networking. Usually connects nodes to the main network.






50. Physical layout of a star topology and also ring logical topology
