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. The way nodes responds to a collision






2. MAU






3. Service that supports email






4. An advantage of networks






5. Ensures that messages being transmitted on the internet are private and tamper proof






6. 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






7. Is a protocol designed for managing complex networks






8. A remote connection where the client computer is a low-end computer that communicates with a terminal server.






9. Used to log on to a UNIX host






10. 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.






11. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable in which the light-based signals follow uniform curved routes inside the cable - resulting in signals that all arrive at the same time and with less long-distance distortion than step-index cable.






12. Method of controlling how network nodes access communication channels - ex highway






13. A shell protocol that enables systems to use various authenticaion mechanisms.






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






15. GSNW






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






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






18. Layer 6






19. Error detection and correction






20. Transport Layer






21. An IP addressing convention that adheres to network class distinctions - in which the first 8 bits of a Class A address - the first 16 bits of a Class B address - and the first 24 bits of a Class C address are used for network Information






22. More variable - convey greater subtleties with less energy






23. A TCP/IP utility that queries the DNS database and provides information about a host given its IP address or vice versa. Dig is similar to the nslookup utility - but provides more information - even in its simplest form - than nslookup can.






24. Name Of Layer 7






25. FTP - file transfer- control






26. 1) A computer (mainframe - minicomputer - server - or workstation) that has an operating system enabling multiple computers to access it at the same time for files - data - and services. Programs and information may be processed at the host - or they






27. Supplying electrical power through ethernet






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






29. Connection-less






30. Hard-to-define skills such as dependability






31. Type of sensor deployed in such a way that the network traffic it is monitoring must pass through it.






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






33. IPX & SPX






34. 128 -64 -32 -16 -8 -4 -2 -1






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






36. After typing ping 127.0.0.1 - it tells you the test failed






37. IMAP4






38. International Organization for Standardization






39. Large networks 1-126






40. A data transmission rate






41. The general topic of how on one computer - two adjacent layers in a networking architectural model work together - with the lower layer proving services to the higher layer.






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






43. Compatible with 802.11a - b - g 600-65 throughput






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






45. Is an e mail retival protocol designed to enabel users to access their e-mail from various locations






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






47. Process of grouping almost identical alarms occurring at almost same time into single higher-level alarm






48. A fixed number associated with a device's NIC






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






50. Layer 3 Troubleshooting
