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.

16. The process of wrapping one layer's PDU with protocol information so that it can be interpreted by a lower layer. For example - Data Link layer protocols encapsulate Network layer packets in frames.






17. Assigning a unique frequency band to each communication






18. NAT






19. A TCP/IP utility that at its simplest returns either to IP address of a host if its host name is specified or its host name if its IP address is specified

28. Can use WPA to improve the security of data in transit






29. Each node is connected to the two nearest nodes so that the entire network forms a circle - active - twisted pair of fiber optic - single malfunction in workstation can disable entire network - not flexible or scalbe
