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. Physical Layer






2. Type of interference that may be caused by motors - power lines - televisions - copiers - etc






3. Layer 3






4. Small network 192-223






5. A data-link protocol used for remote networking that can exchange IP addresses - carry data by multiple network layer protocols - and support different app. protocols.






6. A TCP/IP troubleshooting utility that uses ICMP to trace the path from one networked node to another - identifying all intermediate hops between the two nodes. Traceroute is useful for determining router or subnet connectivity problems. On Windows-ba






7. ARP






8. DSU






9. An international body that establishes communications and networking standards - and that is particularly known for its contributions to network protocol standards.






10. On a network using the MIcrosoft Internet Connections Sharing service - the computer whose Internet connection other computers share. The ICS host must contain two network interfaces: one that connects to the Internet and one that connects to the LAN






11. Appends physical address of destination computer onto the frame






12. What does POP3 stand for?






13. BRI






14. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






15. Connects multiple LANs






16. Pointing in a direction






17. 6th layer; protocols translate between Application and Network layers; data are formatted so that the network can understand - with the format varying according to the type of network; manages data encryption and decryption - such as scrambling of sy






18. Device that processes signals; multiplexer or modem






19. Twisted pair cable consisting of a number of twisted pairs of copper wire with a simple plastic casing. Because - no shielding is used in this cable - it is very susceptible to EMI - RFI - and other types of interference






20. A process in which a digital signature is placed in a driver. The digital signature helps ensure that the driver is tested and is compatible with the operating system and device for which it is written.






21. An 8-bit character-coding method consisting of 96 uppercase and lowercase characters and numbers - plus 32 nonprinting characters.






22. Establishes maintains and terminates connections






23. Example of an internetwork






24. 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.






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






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






27. SNMP






28. The total amount of opposition to the flow of current.






29. A network transport control method used in Ethernet networks. It regulates transmission by sensing the presence of packet collisions.






30. Data only






31. A drawback of certification






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






33. Initiates the communication link - Makes sure the communication link is maintained - Determines which node transmits at any point in time - such as which one transmits first - Disconnectd when a communication session is over - Translates node address

38. A generic term for data being transmitted






39. IEEE






40. Secure CoPy-utility that allows you to copy files securely from host to another






41. On a computer that receives data over a network - the process in which the device interprets the lower-layer headers and - when finished with each header - removes the header - revealing the next-higher-layer PDU.






42. Media access control






43. Standard rating that indicates the diameter of a wire






44. For fiber-optic cable communications - the difference between the transmitted power and the receiver sensitivity - as measured in decibels. It is the minimum transmitter power and receiver sensitivity needed for a signal to be sent and received fully






45. The process of determining the best path from Point A on one network to Point B on another






46. NIDPS system that examines network traffic in order to identify problems related to the flow of traffic. Most sensors are passive mode deployment only.






47. IEEE standard for wireless networking






48. Nondata info that must accompany data for it to be properly routed. addition to data
