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. Ensures outgoing traffic can traverse public networks by replacing each outgoing packets source addresss field w valid IP address






2. Allows you and eight coworkers to share a single internet routable IP address






3. Service that supports email






4. The shorter the wavelength






5. CDFS






6. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 250 MHz.






7. Offers one way for a computer to access another computer over the network or over the Internet. For example - an IBM programmer can use Telnet on a Windows XP or Red Hat Enterprise Linux computer to access a mainframe though the Internet






8. Type of interference that may be caused by motors - power lines - televisions - copiers - etc






9. SNMP






10. Slow wireless standard 11-18 throughput






11. Only two wire pairs are reversed






12. OU






13. A private network that functions like a tunnel through a larger network






14. GSNW






15. Type of transmission in which signlas may travel in both directions over a medium - but only in one direction at a time






16. CSU






17. Which protocol is responsible for routing packets around the network?






18. Hardware that constitutes the enterprise-wide cabling system






19. Physical Layer






20. The 100BaseVG/100VG-AnyLAN approach abandon the CSMA/CD transmission technique for one called demand priorTity.






21. File Transfere Protocol






22. 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.






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






24. Modulation technique in which the amplitude of the carrier signal is modified by the application of a data signal






25. 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






26. 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






27. Layer 4






28. A network design consisting of a continuous path for data with no logical beginning or ending point - and thus no terminators.






29. This phase begins and end a PPP session.






30. IDPS's ability to dynamically modify its configuration in response to environmental activity






31. Point to point protocol






32. An established guideline that specifies how networked data is formatted into a packet or frame - how it is transmitted - and how it is interpreted at the receiving end.






33. Follow TIA/EIA 568 specifications






34. Provides Internet access and/or other services such as email and Web hosting






35. Event that triggers alarms and causes an IDPS to react as if a real attack is in progress






36. Type of sensor deployed in such a way that the network traffic it is monitoring must pass through it.






37. A command-line utility that combines the functionality of the tracert and ping commands (similar to UNIX's mtr command) and comes with Windows XP - Vista - and Windows Server 2003 and Server 2008






38. Developed by ISO and ANSI - a model that providees a framework for networked hardware and software communication based on seven layers.






39. Each node passively listens for then accepts data






40. MX






41. RDP






42. The utility that allows you to query ICANN's DNS registration database and find information about a domain.






43. 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.






44. The distinct units of data that are exchanged between nodes on a network






45. Data Link Layer






46. Synchronises data exchange






47. Application layer protocol used to access information stored in a directory






48. Power loss - the amount of signal that is lost as it travels though the communication medium from the source (transmitting node) to the receiving node.






49. PRI






50. IDPS that examines network traffic in search of patterns that match known signatures
