A perimeter network typically contains servers that require Internet access, such as web or email servers.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It contains only clients
• D. It contains only databases

Answer: (A)

A perimeter network (often called a DMZ) sits between the Internet and the internal network to host public-facing services. Its purpose is to allow external users to reach certain servers while keeping the internal network protected behind firewalls. Because servers like web and email need to be accessible from the Internet, they belong in this zone. So the statement is true. It isn’t limited to just clients or just databases—the perimeter network is specifically for servers that must be reachable from outside, such as web, mail, DNS, or proxy servers, with careful access controls to shield internal resources.
