Abstract: embodiments include a mechanism for disconnecting a fibre optic connection from its port without needing to physically remove the cable from the port. in one or more embodiments, a fibre optic receiver (which may be a transceiver) is flooded with light from a light emitting device (e.g., an led source), which saturates any incoming light signals from the fibre optic cable. in one or more embodiments, the light emitting device is configured such that, once it has been activated, it cannot be deactivated via remote management—thereby providing greater security against compromised systems. in one or more embodiments, an activated light emitting device may only be deactivated manually by a reset switch. embodiments allow for immediate interruption/blocking of connections to an information handling system (e.g., servers, switches, etc.) that may have had their security compromised.

Abstract: the retention lock (rl) status for a backup file stored in a storage target is certified by obtaining the rl status and encrypting it using an encryption key process to create a certified rl status. this signs the rl status by the entity storing the backup file, rather than an application setting the retention lock. the certified rl status is provided as a token to backup software of a deduplication backup system, wherein it can be made available for inspection and audit. the data may include opaque data that is data not interpreted by the filesystem. the request for rl status includes the opaque data, which is returned as part of the response, and which can be returned in part as cleartext.

Abstract: a switch fabric modification system includes a switch fabric having first switch devices and a primary switch device. the primary switch device detects a second switch device has been connected to the switch fabric and, in response and without subsequently receiving an instruction from a user, verifies a second switch device/switch fabric connectivity of the second switch device to the switch fabric that provides a switch device role for the second switch device by determining that the second switch device/switch fabric connectivity enables data communications that are available to the first switch device(s) that have the switch device role, verifies an operating configuration of the second switch device by determining that it matches an operating configuration of the primary switch device and, response to verifying the second switch device/switch fabric connectivity and the operating configuration of the second switch device, adds the second switch device to the switch fabric.

Abstract: the technology described herein is directed towards runtime dynamic downlink power configuration between a distributed unit and radio unit. in one o-ran-compliant implementation, control-plane messages are used to update the downlink power without any service interruption, based on initialization information provided by management-plane messages to the distributed unit, including a radio unit's indication of support for the power change and the time (gap) needed by the radio unit to implement a power change. based on this data, the distributed unit and radio unit (which are synchronized) change the downlink power at the same specific time (same symbol) such that the power configuration can be done during runtime without any service interruption. this is advantageous with power changes needed for citizens broadband radio service (cbrs) systems and/or for energy saving purposes, for example.
