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. Layer 1 Troubleshooting

12. An International organization of scientists - engineers - technicians - and educators that play a leading role in developing standards for network cabling and data transmissions.






13. A service used via the Application layer to recognize and access other layers






14. Network File System






15. A worldwide network network of interconnected LANs - and MANs - that uses the TCP/IP protocol to enable people to share e-mail messages and computer files and to access a vast array of infromation.






16. A specially configured connection on a network device that is capable of viewing all the traffic that moves through the entire device.






17. Capability for a component or system to continue functioning despite damage or malfunction
