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. International society composed of engineering professionals - promotes development and education in the electrical engineering and computer fields






2. Useful for troubleshooting a network connectivity problem from workstation to another workstation






3. Physical Layer






4. Which layer in the OSI network model handles data format information for networked communications?






5. Hub/repeaters






6. Radio frequency interference






7. Follow TIA/EIA 568 specifications






8. ACL






9. A 32 bit number that - when combined with a device's IP address - indicates the kind of supernet to which the device belongs.






10. Consists of single cable that connects all nodes on a network without intervening connectivity devices - inexpensive - hard to find source of error - not very fault tolerant - data is transmitted in one direction in the ring.






11. Private connection from a LAN to an internet service provider.






12. A physical layer standard that defines a method for building a synchronous telecommunications network based on fiber-optic cables.






13. LPR






14. Cross talk that occurs between wire pairs near the source of a signal






15. Network-max segment length-100 meters






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






17. Data transmission that involves one transmitter and one receiver






18. Encompasses actions an organization takes when intrusion is detected






19. Packet internet groper






20. Lower sublayer of the Data Link layer; appends the physical address of the destination computer onto the fram






21. Device that boosts - or strengthens - and analog signal






22. GPO






23. American Standard Code for Information Interchange






24. Feeding everybody in building






25. Device that can detect intrusion and launch an active response






26. Hardware address of the network interface card






27. Trivial File Transfer Protocol






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






29. SNMP






30. A route discovery and analysis utility that comes with UNIX and Linux operating systems. Mtr combines with functions of the ping and traceroute commands and delivers an easily readable chart as its output






31. A process in which a digital signature is placed in a driver. The digital signature helps ensure that the driver is tested and is compatible with the operating system and device for which it is written.






32. The process of checking a communication medium - such as cable - for a voltage level - signal transition - or light - indicating the presence of a data-carrying signal.






33. IPv6 addressing - multicast group






34. The organized research of the Internet addresses owned or controlled by a target organization.






35. ICMP






36. Open System Interconnection






37. IEEE






38. Strategy in which all control functions are applied at the physical location of each IDPS component






39. Transport Layer






40. BERT






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






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






43. Technique for formatting signals in which one property of a carrier wave is modified by the addition of a data signal during transmission






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






45. IEEE standard for error and flow control in data frames






46. Only two wire pairs are reversed






47. Also called coax - a network cable medium that consists of a copper core - surrounded by insulation.






48. The IEEE standard for Ethernet networking devices and data handling (using the CSMA/CD access method)






49. 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.






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
