Location based data

Abstract

A computer-implemented method and computer program product for providing data that includes location-based access control information concerning a data relay device located within a network infrastructure. The data relay device is loaded with one or more features, such that the one or more features loaded are dependent, at least in part, upon the location-based access control information.

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising: 
 providing data that includes location-based access control information concerning a data relay device located within a network infrastructure; and    loading the data relay device with one or more features, wherein the one or more features loaded are dependent, at least in part, upon the location-based access control information.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the one or more features loaded includes one or more configuration files.  
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the one or more features loaded includes one or more network priorities.  
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the location-based access control information is dependent, at least in part, upon a transmission medium type.  
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 4  wherein the transmission medium type includes a cable-based transmission medium.  
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 4  wherein the transmission medium type includes a wireless transmission medium.  
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the location-based access control information is dependent, at least in part, upon a physical location of the data relay device.  
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the data comprises a computer file.  
   
   
       9 . A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: 
 providing data that includes location-based access control information concerning a data relay device located within a network infrastructure; and    loading the data relay device with one or more features, wherein the one or more features loaded are dependent, at least in part, upon the location-based access control information.    
   
   
       10 . The computer program product of  claim 9  wherein the one or more features loaded includes one or more configuration files.  
   
   
       11 . The computer program product of  claim 9  wherein the one or more features loaded includes one or more network priorities.  
   
   
       12 . The computer program product of  claim 9  wherein the location-based access control information is dependent, at least in part, upon a transmission medium type.  
   
   
       13 . The computer program product of  claim 12  wherein the transmission medium type includes a cable-based transmission medium.  
   
   
       14 . The computer program product of  claim 12  wherein the transmission medium type includes a wireless transmission medium.  
   
   
       15 . The computer program product of  claim 9  wherein the location-based access control information is dependent, at least in part, upon a physical location of the data relay device.  
   
   
       16 . The computer program product of  claim 9  wherein the data comprises a computer file.
