Networking with Windows Server 2016 — Question 106

Your company has 5,000 users who work remotely.
You have 40 VPN servers that host the remote connections for the users.
You plan to deploy a RADIUS solution that contains five RADIUS servers.
You need to ensure that client authentication requests are distributed evenly between the five RADIUS servers.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Install the Network Load Balancing role service on all of the RADIUS server. Configure all of the RADIUS clients to connect to a virtual IP address.
• B. Deploy RAS Gateway to a new server. Configure all of the RADIUS clients to connect to RAS Gateway.
• C. Install the Failover Clustering role service on all of the RADIUS servers. Configure all of the RADIUS clients to connect to the IP address of the cluster.
• D. Deploy a RADIUS proxy to a new server. Configure all of the RADIUS clients to connect to the RADIUS proxy.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because deploying a RADIUS proxy allows for efficient distribution of authentication requests across multiple RADIUS servers, ensuring balanced load. Options A and C involve load balancing techniques but do not specifically address the direct distribution of requests to RADIUS servers. Option B does not provide a mechanism for load balancing and instead centralizes the connections through RAS Gateway.
