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. Which layer in the OSI network model is responsible for providing a set of interfaces for applications to obtain access to networked services?

12. Domain Name System






13. An error condition on a token ring network that indicates one or more nodes is not functioning.






14. Layer 3 Troubleshooting

21. The _____________ allows computers to 'talk' to themselves on a different port.






22. DSU






23. Provides strung security for HTTP- transpored information - but it is only used by some vendor's application






24. Glass/plastic - light pulses high throughput - resistant to noise - most expensive cable






25. Techniques that employ hardware and software to provide assurance against equipment failures - computer service interruptions - and data loss.






26. Trivial File Transfer Protocol






27. Electromagnetic interference. waves from electrical devices. ex. RFI






28. An algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame.






29. Frequency modulation-frequency of signal is modified






30. Data Link Layer






31. International Organization for Standardization






32. Digital subscriber line- support multiple data and voice channels over a single line - extraordinary throughput though telephone lines






33. AMI






34. Trivial file transfer protocol






35. EFS






36. Degradation of a light signal on a fiber-optic network






37. Determines the network path on which to route packets - Help reduce network congestion - Establishes virtual circuits - Routes packets to other networks - resequencing packet transmissions when needed - Translates between protocols






38. A type of address translation in which each private IP address is correlated with its own Internet-recognized IP address.






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






40. Resistance that contributes to controlling an electrical signal; measured in ohms

43. Transport layer protocol that requires the establishment of a connection between communicating nodes before it will transmit data






44. An adapter board designed to connect a workstation - server - or other network device to a network medium.






45. Similar to FTP. lets you transfer files between a host and an FTP server






46. Data Link sublayer that manages flow control






47. A protocol that runs in the Dession and Transport layers of the OSI model and associates NetBIOS names with workstations. NetBIOS alone is not routable because it does not contain Network Layer information. However - when encapsulated in another prot






48. A term used to refer to data within the Network layer of the OSI model.
