What is the primary function of the RADIUS protocol when implemented on a network?
Centralizing control over who can connect to and use network services
Distributing IP addresses to client devices
Facilitating the handshaking process in a TLS session
Load balancing traffic between servers
The right answer is 'Centralizing control over who can connect to and use network services' because this protocol is designed to provide a single point of management for user access to network resources, ensuring that only authenticated and authorized users are able to use network services. 'Facilitating the handshaking process in a TLS session' is incorrect because this responsibility lies with the TLS protocol itself during secure communications setups. 'Distributing IP addresses to client devices' is a misconception; that role is typically fulfilled by the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). 'Load balancing traffic between servers' does not pertain to RADIUS, as it is a feature usually associated with load balancers which distribute network or application traffic across a number of servers to improve responsiveness and availability.
