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. Algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame






2. Amplitude modulation-amplitude of signal is modified






3. Documented agreement containing technical specifications or other precise criteria used as guidelines to ensure that materials - products - processes - and services suit their intended purpose






4. The actual data - any communication that encodes a message






5. Transport Layer






6. 128 -64 -32 -16 -8 -4 -2 -1






7. Amount of data that can be transmitted over media or wireless at a time.






8. RAS






9. SMF






10. Process in which an NIDPS inspects the higher-order protocols (HTTP - FTP - Telnet) are examined for unexpected packet behavior or improper use






11. IPv4






12. Frequency division multiplexing






13. Open Systems Interconnection model






14. Which layer in the OSI network model handles data format information for networked communications?






15. A unit of data transmitted on a network that contains control and address information corresponding to the OSI Data Link layer - or Layer 2.






16. Transforms data into a form network or applications will understand






17. What does POP3 stand for?






18. User datagram protocol






19. Device that enables networks or segments using different media to interconnect and exchange signals






20. (local area network) network of computers and others that is confined to a relatively small space






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






22. Ethernet communications at speeds up to 100 Mbps as defined under the IEEE 802.3u standard.






23. The oldest type of network design - this topology consists of multiple nodes attached to a central hub - switch - or router.






24. Consists of single cable that connects all nodes on a network without intervening connectivity devices - inexpensive - hard to find source of error - not very fault tolerant - data is transmitted in one direction in the ring.






25. FTP is an application that enables the transfer of data from one remote device to another - using TCP/IP






26. A data communications technique that transmits a packet directly from the sending node - though a switch - and to the receiving node - without passing though other network nodes.






27. SSH - secure shell






28. Provides service that ensure accurate and timely delivery of network communications between two hosts






29. A network transport control method used in Ethernet networks. It regulates transmission by sensing the presence of packet collisions.






30. FDDI






31. Most common cabling used in networking. Usually connects nodes to the main network.






32. Session initiation protocol-performed on VoIP - determines location of endpoints - and establishes sessions between endpoints






33. The IEEE stanard for error and flow control in data frames.






34. Is a system that is distributed throughout the internetwork to provide address/name resolution.






35. Time Division Multiple Access






36. Is used to allow searching and updating of a directory service






37. Standard analog telephone system






38. Is a challenge respone authentication protocol






39. A network design consisting of a continuous path for data with no logical beginning or ending point - and thus no terminators.






40. Trivial file transfer protocol






41. Is a file transfer protocol that uses s ecure shell (SSH)






42. Physical layer. 10 giga bit throughput. baseband transmission. twisted pair. max length is 100 meters. cat 6 or 7.






43. Connection based






44. More variable - convey greater subtleties with less energy






45. Allows for secure interactive control of remote systems






46. 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.






47. A network owned and maintained by an organization -such as a campus network operated by a college.






48. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






49. Length of time it takes for a packet to go from sender to receiver - then back to sender; measured in milliseconds






50. Application layer protocol that formulates and interprets requests between Web clients and servers
