  • Patent number: 11909721
    Abstract: A firewall configuration server includes a processor in communication with a memory device. The processor is configured to: receive, from an admin computer device, group-based firewall rules, wherein the group-based firewall rules identify a plurality of groups of virtual machines (VMs) executable on a VM server system and a respective set of firewall policies to be applied to the VMs in each group; receive, from a virtual machine (VM) server system, group membership data, the group membership data identifying the plurality of groups and a respective list of VMs associated with each group; parse the group membership data according to the group-based firewall rules to generate VM-specific firewall rules; and transmit the VM-specific firewall rules to a firewall, wherein each VM-specific firewall rule is configured for application by the firewall to communication requests identifying an IP address of one of the VMs.

  • Patent number: 8100701
    Abstract: A device which on the one side (socket side) includes a plug portion which may be inserted into the standardized plug socket. A plurality of chambers (15) is present on the other side (plug side), into which in each case a plug may be inserted. Moreover, the device has a plurality of adapter contacts which by way of introducing the plug portion into the socket, may be brought into electrical contact with the socket contacts. In each of the chambers, at least two of the adapter contacts are electrically conductively contactable by way of plug contacts of the introduced plugs. The chambers are at least partly present within the socket opening, i.e. the inserted plugs project into the socket opening, so that at least one piece of the plug lies within the socket opening.
