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. Activities finalize restoration of operations to a normal state and seek to identify source and method of intrusion to ensure same type of attack cannot occur again






2. A specialized UN agency that provides developing countries with technical expertise and equipment






3. Packet a node sends to acknowledge that it received a SYN request for connection; 2nd of three-step connection process






4. Connection for data exchange between two parties






5. Virtually local area network-device-switch






6. IMAP - internet message access protocol






7. Name Of Layer 3






8. MX






9. Begins when a system that initiated the connection transmits a PPP frame.






10. IPX & SPX






11. You may set up a web server on companys access server - allowing global connections - for employees to access






12. Data Link Layer






13. A series of interconnected computers - printing devices - and other computer equipment that share hardware and software resources. The services area usually is limited to a given office - floor - or building.






14. A medium that carries 1 signal






15. IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer of the data link layer






16. HTTPS - Secure implementation of HTTP






17. 192-223






18. BSD






19. File Transfere Protocol






20. A professional membership society that helps establish technical standards for the internet






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






22. A network design in which every node is connected to every other note - achieving fault tolerance.






23. Hardware device typically used to connect multiple LANs






24. This phase begins and end a PPP session.






25. ADSL






26. IMAP4






27. The more resistant to cross talk (STP)






28. CNAME






29. Uses multiple frequencies to transmit signal






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






31. Method of trasmitting data from a satellite






32. A combination of techniques used to detect an intrusion and then to trace it back to its source






33. Different upload/download speeds.






34. Refers to the IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ab standard for Ethernet communications speed up to 1 Gbps.






35. Unix command at shell prompt to send a file to printer






36. Event that triggers alarms and causes an IDPS to react as if a real attack is in progress






37. The Application layer TCP/IP subprotocol responsible for moving messages from one e-mail server to another.






38. Uses frame headers






39. 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






40. BERT






41. Allows an attached computer to act as a dumb terminal - with data processing taking place on the TCP/IP host computer






42. Physical Layer






43. Amplitude - frequency (Hz) - wavelength - wavy line






44. Similar to bus topology - but the ends are connected






45. Which class of IP address would be allocated to a very large company?






46. IDPS that reviews log files from servers - network devices - and other IDPSs for signatures indicating an attack or intrusion






47. Network device that makes high-level application connections on behalf of internal hosts and other machines






48. Enables sharing remote drivers - Enables sharing remote printers - Handles e-mail messages - Provides file transfer services - Provides file management services - Provides terminal emulation






49. Teflon-coated cable that is used in plenum area because it does not emit a toxic vapor when burned






50. A network design in which every node is connected to every other node - achieving fault tolerance.
