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






2. RAS






3. Device that receives and retransmits microwave data signals






4. Glass or plastic shield around the core of a fiber-optic cable; reflects light back to the core in patterns that vary depending on the transmission mode






5. (WIde area network) Carry networks longer distances than Lans






6. A variation of CHAP designed by Microsoft






7. Basic service set: a group of stations that share an access point






8. NIS






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






10. Eight bits of information; in a digital signaling system - one byte carries one piece of information






11. FDM






12. 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






13. Lowest or 1st layer; protocols generate and detect signals so as to transmit and receive data over a network medium - also set the data transmission rate and monitor data error rates - but do not provide error correction






14. Rules and configuration guidelines governing implementation and operation of IDPSs within an organization






15. Not-for-profit agency that manages distribution of IP addresses; ARIN for Americas and Sub-Saharan Africa - APNIC for Asia-Pacific - RIPE for Europe and North Africa






16. The pattern used to install a network medium






17. A 32 bit number that - when combined with a device's IP address - indicates the kind of supernet to which the device belongs.






18. A value or means of identifying a service on a network node - such as socket or port 103 for standerdized e-mail services in the TCP protocol.






19. Network segment that contains end nodes - such as workstations






20. The physical layout of a computer network






21. IDPS's ability to dynamically modify its configuration in response to environmental activity






22. Accurate alarm events that do not pose significant threat to information security






23. Network news transfer protocol






24. The distinct units of data that are exchanged between nodes on a network






25. Four twisted wire pairs with three twists per foot. This type can handle transmissions up to 16 MHz. Now limited to telecommunication equipment






26. The IEEE standard for broadband wireless metropolitan area networking (also known as WiMax)






27. A logical process of combining bits. In ANDing - a bit with a value of 1 plus another bit with a value of 1 results in a 1. A bit with a value of 0 plus any other bit results in a 0.






28. CDFS






29. The <html> - <head> and <body> tags are all examples of ________ tags






30. A logical grouping of information that includes the network layer header and encapsulated data - but specifically does not include any headers and trailers below the network layer.






31. International Organization for Standardization






32. Unlicensed band with 11 channels






33. A transmitter concentrates the signal energy at a single frequency or in a very small range of frequencies






34. As defined by the EIA/TIA-568 standard - cabling that connects workstations and servers in the work area.






35. Alert or alarm that occurs in the absence of an actual attack






36. Secure CoPy-utility that allows you to copy files securely from host to another






37. Is a method for automatically assigning address and other configuration parameters to network hosts.






38. Device similar to a burglar alarm in that it detects a violation and activates an alarm.






39. Routers work here






40. QoS






41. Layer 1






42. Small network 192-223






43. NTP






44. Internet Layer






45. These reside on a computer or appliance connected to network segment and monitor network traffic






46. The least secure authentication method






47. Failure of an IDPS to react to an actual attack event






48. Services that allow remote users to connect to the network






49. A resistor that is connected to the end of a segment on a bus network - so that data-carrying signals are absorbed at the point where the segment stops. Absorbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end






50. Basic error correction and detection
