61. A routing table lists .
a. nodes on a network
b. the IP address of a router
c. the protocols that each node understands
d. packets to be sent
ANSWER: a
RATIONALE: Correct. A routing table lists nodes on a network and the path to each node, along with
alternate routes and the speed of existing routes. In most cases, a routing table, generated
automatically by software, is used to determine the best possible route for the packet. See

62. A(n) is a network connection device that can build tables that identify addresses on each network.
a. switch
b. adapter card
c. dynamic router
d. hub
ANSWER: c
RATIONALE: Correct. A router is a network connection device containing software that connects
network systems and controls traffic flow between them. A dynamic router can build tables
that identify addresses on each network. See 6-6: Major Networking Concepts

63. Which event takes place in the most basic client/server configuration?
a. The results of a query are sent to the server.
b. The server sends a request to the client over a network.
c. The client receives and processes a query.
d. The user creates a query by running client software.
ANSWER: d
RATIONALE: Correct. In the most basic client/server configuration, the user runs client software to create
a query. The main advantage of the client/server architecture is its scalability, meaning its
ability to grow. See 6-6: Major Networking Concepts

64. Horizontal scaling of a client/server architecture means .
a. migrating the network to decentralized servers
b. migrating the network to a faster communication media
c. adding more proxy servers
d. adding more workstations
ANSWER: d
RATIONALE: Correct. Client/server architectures can be scaled horizontally or vertically. Horizontal
scaling means adding more workstations (clients), and vertical scaling means migrating the
network to larger, faster servers. See 6-6: Major Networking Concepts

65. In the two-tier architecture of the client/server model, .
a. the presentation logic is always on the client
b. the data management logic is always on the client

c. the application logic is always on the server
d. the application logic is always on the client
ANSWER: a
RATIONALE: Correct. In the two-tier architecture of the client/server model, the presentation logic is
always on the client, and the data management logic is on the server. The application logic
can be on the client, on the server, or split between them, although it is usually on the client
side. See 6-6: Major Networking Concepts

66. Which statement is true of the types of client/server architectures?
a. An n-tier architecture tests software easily.
b. An n-tier architecture helps improve network performance.
c. A two-tier architecture allows easy upgrades of applications.
d. A two-tier architecture requires minor modifications in case of any changes in application logic.
ANSWER: b
RATIONALE: Correct. Improving network performance is a major advantage of the n-tier architecture.
An n-tier architecture attempts to balance the workload between client and server by
removing application processing from both the client and server and placing it on a middle-
tier server. See 6-6: Major Networking Concepts
