Why each option
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network.
DHCP operates on a client-server model where a DHCP server dynamically leases IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and DNS server addresses to client devices. This eliminates the need for manual IP configuration on each device.
NTP (Network Time Protocol) synchronizes clocks across network devices, not IP address assignment.
DNS (Domain Name System) resolves human-readable hostnames to IP addresses but does not assign IP addresses to devices.
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) provides centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting for network access, not IP address assignment.
