Remarking
In QoS , remarking relates to adding QoS markers to your incoming data traffic after it is
metered. QoS markers can be applied at both the link layer (within the CoS field), and at
the network layer (within the DSCP field). See
Policing .
Remote network MONitoring
See RMON .
Resiliency link
In VCStack , an extra, out-of-band, data link between stack members. In the event of loss
of communication across the stacking connection, the stack members can determine the
status of other members via communication on the resiliency link. This assists the stack
members in deciding the correct course of action when communication on the stack is
lost.
For more information see “Stack Resiliency Link” on page 82.12 .
RIB
Routing Information Base. The RIB records all the routes that your device has learned. Your
device uses the RIB to advertise routes to its neighbor devices and to populate the
FIB
(Forwarding Information Base).
For more information see “RIB and FIB Routing Tables” on page 28.3 .
Ring port
In EPSR , a port that connects the node to the ring. On the master node, each ring port is
either the primary port or the secondary port. On transit nodes, ring ports do not have
roles.
For more information see “Ring Components and Operation” on page 57.2 .
RMON
Remote Network MONitoring. RMON was developed by the IETF to support monitoring
and protocol analysis of LANs with a focus on Layer 1 and 2 information in networks.
RMON is an industry standard that provides the functionality in network analyzers. An
RMON implementation operates in a client/server model. Monitoring devices (or ‘probes’)
contain RMON agents that collect information and analyze packets. The probes are servers
and the Network Management applications that communicate with them are clients.
For more information see Chapter 73, RMON Introduction and Configuration . For a
configuration example see “RMON Configuration Example” on page 73.3 .
Roaming Authentication
Roaming Authentication improves the usability of network security by enabling users to
move within the network without requiring them to re-authenticate each time they move.
If a supplicant (client device) moves from one wireless access point to another wireless
access point, and the wireless access points are connected to different ports, then the
switch (authenticator) recognizes that the supplicant has been authenticated and accepts
the supplicant without requiring re-authentication.
For more information see “Web-Authentication” on page 42.4 .
