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






2. Hardware that constitutes the enterprise-wide cabling system






3. Is used to route electronic mail through the internetwork






4. Time Division Multiple Access






5. Enables the establishment of a Web connection - but it also provides for the exchange of resources - for example - displaying AOL's Web page in your brower.






6. A computer on a network that requests services or resources from another computer on a network






7. Is a host-to-host protocol like TCP - however it does not include mechanisms for ensuring timely delivery






8. 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






9. Rules and configuration guidelines governing implementation and operation of IDPSs within an organization






10. Communications cable that consists of one or more glass 0r plastic fiber cores inside a protective cladding material - covered by a plastic PVC outer jacket. Signal transmission along the inside fibers typically uses infrared light.






11. Secure Shell






12. Physical Layer






13. Where demarc is located if an organization follows structured cabling standards






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






15. Layer 5 through 7 Troubleshooting






16. 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.






17. A private network that functions like a tunnel though a large network-such as the Internet or an enterprise network-that is restricted to designated member clients only.






18. Uses light to communicate a signal; the light is dispersed on numerous paths as it travels through the core and is reflected back. Provides high bandwidth at high speeds over medium distances up to about 3000 feet






19. A Data Link sublayer that examines addressing information contained in a network frame and controls how devices share communications on the same network.






20. Binary values for each bit position






21. Application Layer






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






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






24. Is used to enable IP address to be assigned automatically by a DHCP server on a network.






25. Layer 4






26. Max number of hops a packet can take b/w its source and destination using RIP on a LAN






27. A systematic survey of all of the target organization's Internet addresses that is conducted to identify network services offered by hosts in that range






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






29. 12-character string that uniquely identifies a network node - hard coded into the NIC by the manufacturer; composed ot the block ID and device ID






30. Reflection in multiple different directions of a signal






31. HTTP - SMTP - POP3 - VoIP






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






33. A boundary between two zones of trust






34. Layer 6






35. A network that links multiple LANs in a large city or metropolitan region.






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






37. EFS






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






39. 500 meters - 10Mbps






40. RJ 45






41. UDP






42. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection






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






44. Generates signals as changes in voltage at the NIC






45. A single physical/non-physical medium for connecting computers






46. Each node passively listens for then accepts data






47. Modulation technique in which the amplitude of the carrier signal is modified by the application of a data signal






48. Hard-to-define skills such as dependability






49. PDC






50. Controls how applications access network
