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.

2. Speed: 100 Mbps - Alternative name: 10BASE-TX - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3u - Cable Type: Copper - max length 100m






3. SLIP






4. A versatile - chainable serial-bus technology that connects up to 127 devices at speeds of 1.5 Mbps and 12 Mbps as well as 480 Mbps.






5. Http - Hypertext transfer protocol






6. CNAME






7. The oldest type of network design - this topology consists of multiple nodes attached to a central hub - switch - or router.






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






9. Provides a generic method of transferring files






10. A type of transmission in which the entire channel capacity of the communications medium (such as cable) is used by one data signal - enabling only one node to transmit at a time.






11. Maintains and assigns IP addresses in the US






12. 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.






13. The oldest type of network design with - this topology consist fo multiple nodes attached to a central hub - switch - or router.






14. Short reach. only multimode-max length is 500. baseband transmission. 1000 mpbs.






15. 2nd set of characteristics that make up a device's MAC address. Added at the factory and is based on the device's model and manufacture date






16. 12-character string that uniquely identifies a network node - hard coded into the NIC by the manufacturer; composed ot the block ID and device ID






17. HDLC






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






19. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basic without going though an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-Peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resoures - such






20. Signal that uses variable voltage to create continuous waves - resulting in an inexact transmission






21. Network Layer






22. 185 meters - 10Mbps






23. Which layer in the OSI is responsible for routing and controling the flow of packets around the network?






24. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






25. An adapter board designed to connect a workstation - server - or other network device to a network medium.






26. A TCP/IP troubleshooting utility that provides information about NetBIOs names and their addresses. If you know the NetBIOs name of a workstation - you can use nbtstat to determine its IP address






27. A utility for viewing or modifying a host's routing table






28. A switching method that enables multiple devices to communicate over the same commnications medium by creating time slots in which each device transmits.






29. A data encryption technique employed between a server and a client - such as between a client's browser and an Internet server.






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






31. Used to determine where patch cable for a specific server terminates on the patch panel - and checks for the presence of noise on a wire






32. Actual. how much data is transmitted during given time






33. A system of computers - printer devices - network devices - and computer software linked by communications cabling or radio waves.

43. Name Of Layer 7






44. MMF






45. A network transport control method used in Ethernet networks. It regulates transmission by sensing the presence of packet collisions.
