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.

8. Data only






9. 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.






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






11. Determines the network path on which to route packets - Help reduce network congestion - Establishes virtual circuits - Routes packets to other networks - resequencing packet transmissions when needed - Translates between protocols

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






19. Point of division between a telecommunications service carrier's network and a building's internal network






20. Works closely with IP in providing error and control information - by allowing hosts to exchange packet status information to help move the packets along the internetwork






21. Package for data that includes not only the data - or 'payload -' but also the sender's and recipient's addressing and control information. Generated at the Data Link layer and issued to the Physical layer






22. IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer of the data link layer






23. NTP - network time protocol






24. A value or means of identifying a service on a network node - such as socket or port 103 for standerdized e-mail services in the TCP protocol.

26. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






27. IPSec






28. 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

30. Has 25 pins also commonly used with serial communication that conforms to the rs-232 standard






31. Layer 5






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