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. Also called the star-wired bus topology - a network design that combines the logial comunications of a bus with the physical layout of a star.






2. Multiplexing technique use over single-mode or multimode fiber-optic cable in which each signal is assigned a different wavelength for its carrier wave; little space exists between carrier waves






3. Shielded twisted pair






4. Network Layer






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






6. Aka main cross-connect - first point of interconnection between an organization's LAN or WAN and a service provider's facility






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






8. A far-reaching system of networks that usually extends over approximately 48 kilometers (about 30 miles) and often reaches across states and continents.






9. Anything - hardware or software - that monitors transmission of packets of digital information that attempt to pass the perimeter of a network






10. International society composed of engineering professionals - promotes development and education in the electrical engineering and computer fields






11. CNAME






12. Any end device on the network (for example: computers - printers - copy machines...)






13. Telnet






14. Communications that occur in discrete units where the start of a unit is signaled by a start bit at the front and the end of the unit is signaled by a stop bit at the back.






15. IPSec






16. IRC






17. To make more efficient use of limited numbers of legitimate IP addressing






18. Every node on the network is connected through a central device like a switch - cannot be disabled by a single malfunction in a workstation - scalable - - popular - expensive - cable malfunction will only effect 2 workstations - more fault tolerant.






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






20. Degradation of a light signal on a fiber-optic network






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






22. Name Of Layer 6






23. Unix command at shell prompt to send a file to printer






24. IEEE standard for Ethernet devices and data handling






25. Application Layer






26. The number of times a signal's amplitude changes over a fixed period of time - expressed in cycles per second - Hz






27. PAP






28. Frequency modulation-frequency of signal is modified






29. RDP






30. Physical layer. 10 giga bit throughput. baseband transmission. twisted pair. max length is 100 meters. cat 6 or 7.






31. Point to point protocol






32. A TCP/Ip troubleshooting utility that displays statistics and the state of current TCP/IP connections. It also displays ports - which can signal whether services are using the correct ports.






33. Each node is connected to the two nearest nodes so that the entire network forms a circle - active - twisted pair of fiber optic - single malfunction in workstation can disable entire network - not flexible or scalbe






34. OU






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






36. Transport Layer






37. Multiple physical/non-physical mediums for connecting computers






38. Which layer in the OSI is responsible for routing and controling the flow of packets around the network?






39. Wireless standard






40. Facilities necessary for a service provider to connect with another organization LAN or WAN






41. A computer that accesses another computer - such as a workstation that accesses a shared file on another workstation - server - or mainframe. The client may use the accessed computer (host) to process data - or may process accessed data using its own






42. More variable - convey greater subtleties with less energy






43. Physical Layer






44. Cross talk with 2+ wires






45. IS designed for the exchange of electronic mail between networked systems -such as between mail servers over a TCP/IP network






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






47. Type of transmission in which signals may travel in both directions over a medium simultaneously; also called duplex






48. PDC






49. A switchhing method that creates separte channels on one communication medium by establishing different frequencies for each channel.






50. Binary values for each bit position
