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. Network File System






2. Transport Layer






3. ICA






4. Experimentation 240-255






5. Response generated atTransport layer confirming to sender that its frame was received; 3rd step in establishing a connection






6. The seventh layer of the OSI model. Application layer protocols enable software programs to negotiate formatting - procedural - security - synchronization - and other requirements with the network.






7. Data Link sublayer that manages flow control






8. 3rd layer; protocols translate network addresses into their physical counterparts and decide how to route data from the sender to the receiver






9. CHAP






10. Internet Engineering Task Force






11. 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.






12. A termination unit also called a transceiver or DSL modem






13. Transport Layer






14. The IEEE standard for Ethernet networking devices and data handling (using the CSMA/CD access method)






15. Time division multiplexing






16. SNMP






17. A fixed number associated with a device's NIC






18. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






19. F type (like TV cable) or BNC (crimped)






20. IMAP4






21. A technique for transmitting data over a network by encapsulating it within another protocol.






22. Speed: 10 Mbps - Alternative Name: 10BASE-T - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3 - Cable Type: Copper - max length 100 meters






23. Authentication prtocol that does not issue a challenge or require 3rd party verification of the computer requestiing authentication






24. A professional membership society that helps establish technical standards for the internet






25. A network that any user can access with no restrictions. the most familiar example of a public network is the Internet






26. The process of wrapping one layer's PDU with protocol information so that it can be interpreted by a lower layer. For example - Data Link layer protocols encapsulate Network layer packets in frames.






27. Open System Interconnection






28. EFS






29. A specially configured connection on a network device that is capable of viewing all the traffic that moves through the entire device.






30. 128 -64 -32 -16 -8 -4 -2 -1






31. A poplar alternative to FTP is NFS software offered by Sun Microsystems - which uses Sun's remotr procedure call specification via TCP port 111.






32. Equivalent to OSI Layer 3 Network






33. Equivalent to OSI Layer 7 Application - Layer 6 Presentation - Layer 5 Session






34. A command-line utility that combines the functionality of the tracert and ping commands (similar to UNIX's mtr command) and comes with Windows XP - Vista - and Windows Server 2003 and Server 2008






35. The cableing or radio waves used to connect one network computer to another - or one network to another - and transport data between them.






36. Strategy in which all control functions are applied at the physical location of each IDPS component






37. A resistor that is connected to the end of a segment on a bus network - so that data-carrying signals are absorbed at the point where the segment stop. Aborbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end-t






38. More reliable then analog - noise doesn't affect as much - more efficient - fewer errors






39. OTDR






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






41. 1000 representatives from industry and gov't who determine standards for electronics - chemical and nuclear engineering - health and safety - and construction






42. Regular voice-grade telephone service.






43. An Application layer protocol used to retrieve messages from a mail server. When a client retrieves mail via POP - messages previously stored on the mail server are downloaded to the client's workstation - and then deleted from the mail server.






44. A form of address translation that uses Tcp port numbers to distinguish each client's transmission - thus allowing multiple clients to share a limited number of Internet-recognized IP addresses.






45. Binary values for each bit position






46. A standard method or format for communication between networked devices






47. 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.






48. Wide area network






49. Name Of Layer 1






50. When pulses that represent bits follow one another along a single transmission
