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. Routes packets through network






2. Developed by ISO and ANSI - a model that providees a framework for networked hardware and software communication based on seven layers.






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






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






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






6. Unique identifying number for a network node; follows a hierarchical addressing scheme; can be assigned through OS software; added to data packets and interpreted by protocols at the Network layer






7. On a cable-TV WAN - a central receiving point for signals from various sources - including satellite - major cable sources - and local tevevision sources.






8. A type of cable used in network wiring and is usually shielded - which means that it is more immune to interference then unshielded cables






9. 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.






10. Transport Layer






11. Traces path from one network node to another - identifying all intermediate hops b/w two nodes






12. Short tube within a fiber-optic cable connector that encircles the fiber strand and keeps in properly aligned






13. Software that is stored on a chip in a device - such as in a ROM - and that typically composes some type of system software






14. Connects networks larger than a LAN - but smaller than a WAN






15. Professional organization with 90 chapters around the world that helps to establish technical standards for the internet






16. Frame






17. Name Of Layer 5






18. Device that can detect intrusion and launch an active response






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






20. Signals on bus that would travel endlessly between two nodes






21. ICS






22. Field in a frame responsible for ensuring that data carried by the frame arrives intact. Uses an algorithm - such as CRC - to accomplish verification






23. Connects multiple LANs






24. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






25. Cross talk with 2+ wires






26. Hubs and switches work here






27. 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.






28. IEEE standard for error and flow control in data frames






29. Uses multiple frequencies to transmit signal






30. Doesn't use frame headers - uses cells






31. Communications arrangement in which a single transmitter issues signals to multiple - defined recipients






32. Process of breaking large packets into smaller packets.






33. Progress of a wave over a time in a relationship






34. Rules determining the format and transmission of data






35. Error detection and correction






36. Address Resolution Protocol






37. A drawback of certification






38. Telnet






39. Open System Interconnection






40. A generic term referring to any set of protocols and standards collected into a comprehensive grouping that - when followed by the devices in a network - allows all the devices to communicate. Examples include TCP/IP and OSI.






41. SONET






42. CDFS






43. Allows you and eight coworkers to share a single internet routable IP address






44. Two communication systems establish 2-way communication prior to the exchange of data






45. Manages IP address allocation and the domain name system






46. An established guidline that specifies how networked data is formatted into packet or frame - how it is transmitted - and how it is interpreted at the receiving end.






47. A logical grouping of information that includes the network layer header and encapsulated data - but specifically does not include any headers and trailers below the network layer.






48. Protocol used to transfer mail between a send mail server and microsoft exchange server






49. L2F






50. Which layer in the OSI network model is responsible for providing a set of interfaces for applications to obtain access to networked services?
