A LAN has no access to the perimeter network.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only with a gateway
• D. If there is no firewall

Answer: (B)

Access to the perimeter network is provided by a gateway that routes traffic from the LAN outward. The gateway—usually a router or firewall device—gives the LAN a path to reach external networks like the Internet. Even if a firewall sits between the LAN and the perimeter network, that doesn’t remove basic connectivity; it simply governs what traffic is allowed. So saying a LAN has no access to the perimeter network is not correct in typical designs because a gateway normally enables that connection.
