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






2. RDP






3. 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.






4. Decoy systems designed to lure potential attackers away from critical systems






5. An advantage of networks






6. Also called the star-bus hybrid topology - a network design that combines the logial comunications of a bus with the physical layout of a star.






7. A form of fiber-optic cable that supports only one signal transmission at a time and that is used mainly for long- distance communication.






8. Ethernet NICs listen on network and wait until they detect no other nodes transmitting data






9. Enables sharing remote drivers - Enables sharing remote printers - Handles e-mail messages - Provides file transfer services - Provides file management services - Provides terminal emulation






10. SMF






11. Measure of strength






12. Serial internet protocol






13. Single mode fiber






14. IPv4






15. Data Link Layer






16. Standard analog telephone system






17. Layer 6






18. Refers to the IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ab standard for Ethernet communications speed up to 1 Gbps.






19. RJ 11






20. Uses multiple frequencies to transmit signal






21. Requires many pulses to transmit same info that an analog can transmit in a wave






22. MSAU






23. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






24. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers






25. Value placed upon an IDPS's ability to detect/identify certain attacks correctly






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






27. LLC






28. 3rd layer; protocols translate network addresses into their physical counterparts and decide how to route data from the sender to the receiver






29. In TCP - a term used to describe a TCP header and its encapsulated data (also called an L4PDU). Also in TCP - the process of accepting a large chunk of data from the application layer and breaking it into smaller pieces that fit into TCP segments. In






30. The information transfered between layers in the same OSI stack






31. 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






32. ARP






33. Small Form Plug-gables - Plugs in to an interface on a switch






34. Cross talk with 2+ wires






35. Functions at the network layer that add logical addresses and properly route data






36. The _____________ allows certain bits of the IP address to be ignored when checking to see if an IP address matches the destination network address.






37. Telnet






38. 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.






39. OSPF






40. Application Layer






41. After typing ping 127.0.0.1 - it tells you the test failed






42. Transport Layer






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






44. 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






45. Largest data unit a network will accept for transmission






46. Network Layer






47. 128-191






48. Any end device on the network (for example: computers - printers - copy machines...)






49. Manages network communication - available on a CD-ROM for example - that is used to manage communications and how frames or packets are sent using a protocol.






50. Facilities necessary for a service provider to connect with another organization LAN or WAN
