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. Value placed upon an IDPS's ability to detect/identify certain attacks correctly






2. IPv6 addressing - multicast group






3. Receives a signal on one end - interprets it as 0 & 1 - then generates a new clean signal on the other end.






4. Ethernet NICs listen on network and wait until they detect no other nodes transmitting data






5. Data changed since the previous fill or incremental backup






6. Controls the transport of data between systems






7. ADSL






8. Network cable that contains pairs of insulated wires that are twisted together and surrounded by a shielding material for added EMI and RFI protection - all inside a protective jacket.






9. A thin coaxial cable usually RG-58






10. Glass/plastic - light pulses high throughput - resistant to noise - most expensive cable






11. A switchhing method that creates separte channels on one communication medium by establishing different frequencies for each channel.






12. A computer that has its own CPU and may be used as a stand-alone computer for word processing - spreadsheet genation - or other software applications. It also may be used to access another computer such as another workstation or server via a network.






13. Carrier sense multiple access w collision detection (network access method) ethernet






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






15. The IEEE stanard for error and flow control in data frames.






16. Physical and Data Link layers






17. Equals a single pulse in the digital encoding system






18. 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






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






20. Transforms data into a form network or applications will understand






21. Physical layer. 10 mpbs throughput. baseband transmission. max length is 100 meters. follows 5-4-3 rule. star topology. cat 3 or higher utp. twisted pair.






22. The information transfered between layers in the same OSI stack






23. To make more efficient use of limited numbers of legitimate IP addressing






24. The seventh layer of the OSI model. Application layer protocols enable software programs to negotiate formatting - procedural - security - synchronization - and other requirements with the network.






25. Physical layout of a star topology and also ring logical topology






26. Guarantees that a server continually has power even if a buildings electrical service is interrupted - continuous voltage to a device by switching virtually instantaneously to the battery when it detects loss of power






27. Contains information that a wireless node needs to associate with an ap






28. The physical layout of the cable and wireless network devices and the logical path followed by network frames and packets sent on the cable or by wireless transmissions






29. Measure of strength






30. Application Layer






31. Is a secure form of HTTP






32. Physical layer. 10 giga bit throughput. baseband transmission. twisted pair. max length is 100 meters. cat 6 or 7.






33. The medium that carries multiple signals simultaneously






34. POP3






35. Field in a frame responsible for ensuring that data carried by the frame arrives intact. Uses an algorithm - such as CRC - to accomplish verification






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






37. Name Of Layer 1






38. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






39. Communications arrangement in which a single transmitter issues signals to multiple - defined recipients






40. Electromagnetic interference






41. BERT






42. DNS - Domain name system






43. Port used during a domain name lookup






44. IPv4






45. 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






46. The sender transmits the data to the destination without establishment of a connection.






47. A single computer that provides extensive multiuser access to network resources - such as shared files - shared disks - and shared printers.






48. Point to point protocol






49. Type of protocol useful when data must be transferred quickly






50. Two twisted wire pairs. It's the oldes type and is only voice grade - it isn't rated for data communication.
