Question 1
AAAA
Correct Answer
Authentication, Authorization, Accounting and Address - is another type of DNS Record that points a domain or subdomain to an
IPv6 address, so that when someone types that domain or subdomain in the address bar, the browser knows where to go.
Question 2
ACL
Correct Answer
Access Control List
Allow or disallow traffic based on
- Groupings of categories
- Source IP, Destination IP, port number, time of day, application, etc
Question 3
AES
Correct Answer
Advanced Encryption Standard
- Symmetric block cipher chosen by the U.S. government to protect classified information
Question 4
AH
Correct Answer
Authentication Header
Data integrity • Origin authentication • Replay attack protection • Keyed-hash mechanism • No confidentiality/encryption
,Question 5
AP
Correct Answer
Access Point
Not a wireless router - A wireless router is a router and an access point in a single device
• An access point is a bridge - Extends the wired network onto the wireless network - OSI layer 2 device
Question 6
APC
Correct Answer
Angled Physical Contact (Angle-Polished Connectors)
Ferrule end-face radius polished at an eight degree angle - Lower return loss, generally higher insertion loss than
UPC (Fiber)
Question 7
APIPA
Correct Answer
Automatic Private Internet Protocol Addressing
• A link-local address - No forwarding by routers • IETF has reserved 169.254.0.1 - through 169.254.255.254 - First
and last 256 addresses are reserved - Functional block of 169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255
Question 8
ARP
Correct Answer
Address Resolution Protocol
the protocol used to associate the IP address to a MAC address. When a host wants to send a packet to another
host, say IP address 10.5. 5.1, on its local area network (LAN), it first sends out (broadcasts) an ARP packet
Question 9
AUP
Correct Answer
Acceptable Use Policy
What is acceptable use of company assets? - Detailed documentation - May be documented in the Rules of
Behavior • Covers many topics - Internet use, telephones, computers, mobile devices, etc. • Used by an
organization to limit legal liability - If someone is dismissed, these are the well-documented reasons why
Question 10
BGP
Correct Answer
Border Gateway Protocol
Determines route based on paths, network policies, or configured rule-sets
Trusted by thousands of students and professionals worldwide Page 2 of 29
, Question 11
BNC
Correct Answer
British Naval Connector/Bayonet Neill-Concelman
Question 12
BYOD
Correct Answer
Bring Your Own Device
• Bring Your Own Device or Bring Your Own Technology • Employee owns the device - Need to meet the
company's requirements • Difficult to secure - It's both a home device and a work device - How is data protected?
- What happens to the data when a device is sold or traded in?
Question 13
CAM
Correct Answer
Content Addressable Memory (table)
a system memory construct used by Ethernet switch logic which stores information such as MAC addresses
available on physical ports with their associated VLAN Parameters. Switch table
Question 14
CAN
Correct Answer
Campus Area Network
Corporate Area Network • Limited geographical area - A group of buildings • LAN technologies - Fiber connected,
high speed Ethernet • Your fiber in the ground - No third-party provider
Question 15
CDMA
Correct Answer
Code Division Multiple Access
- Everyone communicates at the same time - Each call uses a different code - The codes are used to filter each call
on the receiving side • Used by Verizon and Sprint - Handsets are controlled by the network provider - Not much
adoption elsewhere. CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) refers to any of several protocols used in second-
generation (2G) and third-generation (3G) wireless communications. As the term implies, CDMA is a form of
multiplexing, which allows numerous signals to occupy a single transmission channel, optimizing the use of
available bandwidth.
