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. 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.






2. Type of interference that may be caused by motors - power lines - televisions - copiers - etc






3. (fix) if analog an amplifier or if digital with repeater






4. A utility for viewing or modifying a host's routing table






5. A TCP/IP troubleshooting utility that uses ICMP to trace the path from one networked node to another - identifying all intermediate hops between the two nodes. Traceroute is useful for determining router or subnet connectivity problems. On Windows-ba






6. Frame






7. Synchronises data exchange






8. Scrambles information into an alternative form that requires a key or password to decrypt the information.






9. Event that triggers alarm when no actual attack is in progress






10. BIND






11. Frequency Division Multiple Access






12. A very high speed - long distance media that consists of a single strand of fiber glass that carries the signals. Can transmit data 50 times further than multimode fiber at a faster rate






13. MDI






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






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






16. Network File System






17. SONET






18. This layer in the OSI network model manages log on procedures and password recognition.






19. Internet Layer






20. QoS technique enables packet switches technologies to travel over traditionally circuit switched connections






21. Backbone: A high-capacity communications medium that joins networks on the same floor in a building - on different floors - and across long distances.






22. Signals travel in one direction






23. Network-max segment length-100 meters






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






25. MAU






26. Telephone jacks






27. ISDN






28. 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.






29. End-user device - such as a workstation - terminal - or console






30. Electronics industries Alliance






31. It enables the sending node to obtain the MAC address of the intended recipient before packets are sent.






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






33. Used to determine where patch cable for a specific server terminates on the patch panel - and checks for the presence of noise on a wire






34. More variable - convey greater subtleties with less energy






35. Core TCP/IP protocol that operates in the Network layer and provided information about how and where data should be delivered; subprotocol that enables TCP/IP to inernetwork






36. Physical Layer






37. A TCP/Ip troubleshooting utility that displays statistics and the state of current TCP/IP connections. It also displays ports - which can signal whether services are using the correct ports.






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






39. The wave bounces back when encountering an object






40. Radio frequency interference. interference caused by radio.






41. Small network 192-223






42. Strategy in which all IDPS control functions are implemented and managed in a central location






43. The fact that wireless signals follow a number of paths to their destination






44. Which protocol is responsible for splitting data into packets and adding a header to each one?






45. A situation in which two or more packets are detected at the same time on an Ethernet network.






46. Connectivity device - data link layer (2) - reads header info to forward packets according to MAC addresses






47. Hardware that constitutes the enterprise-wide cabling system






48. A type of cabling that includes pairs of copper conductors - twisted around each other - inside a metal or foil shield. This type of medium can support faster speeds than unshielded wiring






49. Station transmits a probe that is then replied by the access point






50. An international organization of scientists - engineers - technicians - and educators that plays a leading role in developing standards for network cabling and data transmissions.
