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. Multiple physical/non-physical mediums for connecting computers






2. Firewall packet inspection that examines the data contained in a packet as well as the state of the connection between internal and external computers.






3. A network that offers services to members of the public - such as network services offered by a telecommunications company or a cable TV company.






4. Netscape and Microsoft have implemented HTTPS to protect data transported via their Web browsers.






5. Layer 5 through 7 Troubleshooting






6. Physical layer. 1 gpbs throughput. baseband transmission. max length is 100 meters. cat 5e or higher utp. twisted pair.






7. The pattern used to install a network medium






8. Transport layer protocol that services a request without requiring a verified session and without guaranteeing delivery data






9. Telephone jacks






10. FDM






11. Several ethernet nodes can be connected and can monitor traffic or access media simultaneously






12. Security measure verifies that your user name and password are contained in the NOS directory






13. 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.






14. Station transmits a probe that is then replied by the access point






15. 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.






16. Device used to regenerate a signal






17. Multiple signals travel simultaneously - medium is separated into multiple channels






18. HTTP/web/internet - change this port to make it more difficult for someone to connect to your web server






19. Name Of Layer 3






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






21. Standard that describes a security technique - wireless networks - in which a port is prevented from receiving traffic until the transmitters credentials are verified by authentication server






22. A private network that functions like a tunnel though a large network-such as the Internet or an enterprise network-that is restricted to designated member clients only.






23. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers






24. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






25. Transport Layer






26. A combination of techniques used to detect an intrusion and then to trace it back to its source






27. Point or stage in a wave's progress over time






28. A transmitter concentrates the signal energy at a single frequency or in a very small range of frequencies






29. NCP






30. AFP






31. Pointing in a direction






32. Backbone: A high-capacity communications medium that joins networks on the same floor in a building - on different floors - and across long distances.






33. The cabling or radio waves used to connect one network computer to another - or one network to another - and transport data between them. - Means by which a communications signal is carried from one system to another (for example - twisted-pair wire






34. A type of transmission in which there are several transmission channels on a communications medium - allowing more than one node to transmit at the same time.






35. Connects networks larger than a LAN - but smaller than a WAN






36. The process of determining the best path from Point A on one network to Point B on another






37. Each computer is connected to a central device






38. Distinct communication path between two or more nodes; may be separated logically or physically






39. Analog - only one direction. radio frequency analog waves w differences in frequency. expensive - longer distance. ex. cable TV






40. ATM






41. An IDPS that resides on particular computer or server (the host) and monitors activity only on that system. Also known as system integrity verifiers.






42. Signal interference caused by magnetic force field generated by electrical devices such as motors.






43. Does not operate at the application layer






44. Short tube within a fiber-optic cable connector that encircles the fiber strand and keeps in properly aligned






45. Crimp into pins 1 and 2 of RJ 45 connector






46. AD






47. Provides FTP - HTTP - SMTP...






48. User datagram protocol






49. Segment






50. A Data Link sublayer of the OSI model that initiates the communication link between nodes and ensures the link is not unintentionally broken.
