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. The process in which an attacker obtains confidential information by contacting employees and deceiving them into giving up passwords - IP addresses - server names - and so on.






2. Sequences packets in correct order






3. A very high speed - long distance media that consists of a single strand of fiber glass that carries the signals. Can transmit data 50 times further than multimode fiber at a faster rate






4. Type of switching for multiple data packets make up the same transmission and use identical paths to reach the destination






5. Best fault tolerance






6. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






7. DSU






8. First part of the datagram - which consists of general information about the size of the packet - the protocol that was used to send it - and the IP address of both the source computer and its destination.






9. A private computer network with resources accessible only to internal members.






10. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection






11. Restructuring data units that have been segmented






12. A common way of sharing resources on a peer-to-peer network






13. Physical layer. 10 mpbs throughput. baseband transmission. max length is 100 meters. follows 5-4-3 rule. star topology. cat 3 or higher utp. twisted pair.






14. An arm of the Internet Society (ISOC) that works on Internet-relateed technical issues.






15. A type of fiber optic cable connector that uses a mechanism similar to the BNC connectors used by Thinnet






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






17. Port used during a domain name lookup






18. Connector with 9 pins - commonly used in a serial communication that conforms to the rs-232 standard






19. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 100 Mhz.






20. Layer 7






21. 5th layer; establishes and maintains communication between two nodes on the network; 'traffic cop'






22. IPX & SPX






23. Standard that describes a security technique - wireless networks - in which a port is prevented from receiving traffic until the transmitters credentials are verified by authentication server






24. A network that offers services to members of the public - such as network services offered by a telecommunications company or a cable TV company.






25. Synchronises data exchange






26. Wireless standard






27. Subgroup of EIA that focuses on standards for information technology - wireless - satellite - fiber optics - and telephone equipment; best known for network cable installation guidelines (TIA/EIA 568-B Series)






28. IGMP






29. The act of hacking into a hacker's system to find out as much as possible about the hacker






30. IIS






31. A thin coaxial cable usually RG-58






32. Which layer is responsible for putting data into frames as well as providing error checking data?






33. ADSL






34. Measure of a signal's strength






35. A boundary between two zones of trust






36. A service on a node






37. Equals a single pulse in the digital encoding system






38. Process of breaking large packets into smaller packets.






39. AH






40. 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.






41. 2nd set of characteristics that make up a device's MAC address. Added at the factory and is based on the device's model and manufacture date






42. A worldwide network network of interconnected LANs - and MANs - that uses the TCP/IP protocol to enable people to share e-mail messages and computer files and to access a vast array of infromation.






43. Logical link control






44. A specialized device that allows multiple networks or segments to connect and exchange data






45. The wave bounces back when encountering an object






46. 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.






47. The process of enclosing data for transmission






48. Method of gauging the appropriate rate of data transmission based on how fast he recipient can accept data






49. Internet assigned numbers authority






50. IP
