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.

5. Virture privat network






6. Uses multiple frequencies to transmit signal






7. Also called coax - a network cable medium that consists of a copper core - surrounded by insulation.

12. PRI






13. A data transmission rate






14. Defines the physical characteristics of the network






15. Distance between corresponding points on cycle






16. A type of address translation in which a limited pool of internet-valid IP addresses is shared by multiple private network hosts.






17. As defined by the EIA/TIA-568 standard - cable that runs between network equipment rooms - floors - and buildings.






18. A data encryption technique employed between a server and a client - such as between a client's browser and an Internet server.






19. Panel of data receptors into which twisted pair wire is inserted to complete a circuit






20. Hardware address of the network interface card






21. A device that can transmit and receive - such as transmitting and receiving signals on a communication cable
