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






2. Frequency Division Multiple Access






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






4. Ethernet LAN-all forms of Ethernet media and interface






5. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and broadcasts them out to the rest of the network.






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






7. In TCP - a term used to describe a TCP header and its encapsulated data (also called an L4PDU). Also in TCP - the process of accepting a large chunk of data from the application layer and breaking it into smaller pieces that fit into TCP segments. In






8. Example of an internetwork






9. 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






10. Hypertext Transfer Protocol






11. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a station.






12. Network time protocol






13. Name Of Layer 6






14. Divides channel into different time slots and assigns data to nodes who are attached to time slots






15. Used with single mode or multi mode fiber optic cable






16. LPD






17. Regular voice-grade telephone service.






18. FDM






19. American Standard Code for Information Interchange






20. PRI






21. Transport protocol and TCP/IP port that uses telnet utility use






22. Routing protocol most likely used to replace a router for that handles traffic to and from the companies connection to its NSP






23. Initiates the communication link - Makes sure the communication link is maintained - Determines which node transmits at any point in time - such as which one transmits first - Disconnectd when a communication session is over - Translates node address






24. MT-RJ






25. Theoretical. difference b/w highest and lowest frequency.






26. Modulation technique in which the amplitude of the carrier signal is modified by the application of a data signal






27. Encompasses actions an organization takes when intrusion is detected






28. FM






29. Follow TIA/EIA 568 specifications






30. A type of address translation in which a limited pool of internet-valid IP addresses is shared by multiple private network hosts.






31. This layer in the OSI transforms bits into electromagnetic signals.






32. A network design built by running cable from one PC of file server to the next - like links in a chain.






33. Allows clients to communicate in different floors






34. NIDPS system that examines network traffic in order to identify problems related to the flow of traffic. Most sensors are passive mode deployment only.






35. Data circuit-terminating equipment. multiplexer or modem






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






37. 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






38. Data transmission that involves one transmitter and one receiver






39. A Data Link sublayer that examines addressing information contained in a network frame and controls how devices share communications on the same network.






40. Transport Layer






41. Slow wireless standard 11-18 throughput






42. SSH






43. Type of interference caused by signals traveling on nearby wire pairs infringing on another pair's signal






44. Name Of Layer 4






45. IEEE standard for token ring devices and data handling






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






47. Layer 3






48. A form of address translation that uses Tcp port numbers to distinguish each client's transmission - thus allowing multiple clients to share a limited number of Internet-recognized IP addresses.






49. Manages network communication - available on a CD-ROM for example - that is used to manage communications and how frames or packets are sent using a protocol.






50. Twisted pair cable consisting of a number of twisted pairs of copper wire with a simple plastic casing. Because - no shielding is used in this cable - it is very susceptible to EMI - RFI - and other types of interference
