An information handling system may include a host system including a host network interface; and a management controller including a management network interface, the management controller being configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system. The management controller may be configured to: receive, via the management network interface, network configuration information for the host network interface; and provide access to the network configuration information via an application programming interface (API). The host system may be configured to: poll the API of the management controller at selected times until the management controller provides access to the network configuration information; retrieve the network configuration information via the API; and configure the host network interface in accordance with the network configuration information.

An electronic device may include a processor and a network interface that may include a first radio and a second radio. The processor may be configured to perform wireless communication jamming attack detection by occasionally performing clear channel verification utilizing the network interface to determine whether a threshold number of devices' channels are incapacitated in a wireless network within a threshold amount of time and/or by sending a heartbeat signal from the first radio and determining whether the second radio received the heartbeat signal.

The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a control plane Evolved Packet Core, cEPC, node for handling control plane signaling in a communications system (200). The cEPC node handles substantially all control plane signaling for a User Equipment, UE, between a Radio Access Network, RAN, node and an operator network.

Methods and apparatus to orchestrate infrastructure installation of a hybrid system are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first virtual appliance including a management endpoint. The first virtual appliance is to organize tasks to be executed to install a computing infrastructure. The example apparatus includes a first component server to execute tasks. The component server includes a management agent to communicate with the management endpoint to receive a task to be executed to install the computing infrastructure. The first virtual appliance is to associate a role with the first component server and to determine whether the first component server satisfies a prerequisite associated with the role. The first virtual appliance is to facilitate addressing an error when the first component server is determined not to satisfy the prerequisite.

A method and apparatus for coordinating and authenticating requests for data. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises: a baseboard management controller (BMC); and a request coordinator coupled to the BMC to intercept BMC requests and to provide intercepted requests to the BMC, where the coordination interface comprises a request parser to parse parameters for each of the BMC requests, one or more queues to store the requests while the BMC is servicing another BMC request, and a command submitter to send individual BMC requests to the BMC, wherein the BMC is operable to generate the responses to the BMC requests received from the coordination interface and to send the responses to the coordination interface.

Various embodiments described herein provide for establishing connectivity of nodes by employing base management controllers associated with the nodes. For some embodiments, a first data is received at a resource manager from a first base management controller (BMC) associated with a first node, wherein the resource manager is associated with a server computer system. A second data is received at the resource manager from a second BMC associated with a second node. A classification of the first node and the second node are determined and a compatibility of the first node with the second node based on the first data and the second. A topology is generated, at the resource manager, of the first node and the second node.

A method and apparatus for managing remote devices. In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method of managing a remote device, comprising: obtaining a first identifier based on a name sequence in state information of the remote device, the first identifier being for indicating a template that provides the state information; obtaining a second identifier based on a numerical value sequence in the state information; sending a state access notification that comprises at least the first identifier and the second identifier; and providing the state information based on the first identifier and the second identifier in response to having received a result of activating the state access notification. In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for managing a remote device.

The present invention provides a method for managing a terminal device in a PON network. When a layer 3 network between an OLT and an ONU is disconnected, a layer 2 channel is established between the OLT and the ONU by extending an OAM protocol, and the ONU is managed by using the layer 2 channel. In this way, maintenance personnel do not need to go to a site to perform commissioning, and therefore, maintenance costs can be reduced.

Disclosed is a platform for providing computational resources at and/or near a mobile network perimeter. The platform may be used to provide computational resources adjacent a small cell radio via at least one Mobile Edge Compute (“MEC”) Appliance and at least one MEC Controller. The MEC Appliance can serve as the data plane to support data flow traffic. The MEC Controller can provide a micro-services architecture designed for resiliency, scalability, and extensibility. The platform can be used to de-centralize the mobile network operator's core network and/or associated macro-cell network topologies, generating a platform with enhanced flexibility, reliability, and performance. The platform can include a security architecture for effective privacy and access within a distributed topology of the network at and/or near the edge of the mobile network perimeter.

The present disclosure generally relates to the support of optical connection setup. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a technique of supporting provision of a connection via a data communication network of an optical network between packet network islands. A method embodiment comprises establishing a Border Gateway Protocol-Link State, BGP-LS, connection via the DCN between a first edge node of the first packet network island and a BGP-LS node in the optical network.
