Dynamic network configuration

1. A method, comprising:

monitoring a network for an event, said network including access points through which wireless users access the network and a plurality of virtual service communities allocated to one or more of said access points, each virtual service community (VSC) configured for one or more network services, and wherein the network services associated with one VSC includes at least one network service that is different than the network services of another VSC;

detecting, by a processor, the event; and

based on the occurrence of the detected event, performing, by the processor, an action that includes dynamically allocating a VSC to an access point,

wherein monitoring the network comprises collecting operational information about the network, and

wherein detecting the event comprises using the collected operational information and tagged operational information to detect the event.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said action further includes dynamically changing a configuration of services of a VSC.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said action further includes enabling or disabling an access point.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said action further includes providing a recommendation for a change to a configuration of the network.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein said event includes at least one event selected from a group consisting of a scheduled event, a manually-triggered event, and a performance level exceeding a threshold.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising specifying the threshold and associating a rule to the threshold, said rule specifying said action to be performed upon the threshold being violated.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising tagging a subset of operational information as the tagged operational information.

8. An electronic system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

storage containing software that is executable by said one or more processors;

wherein said software causes said one or more processors to:

monitor a network for an event, the network including access points through which wireless users access the network and a plurality of virtual service communities allocated to one or more of said access points, each virtual service community (VSC) configured for one or more network services, and wherein the network services associated with one VSC includes at least one network service that is different than the network services of another VSC;

detect the event; and

based on the occurrence of the detected event, perform an action that includes dynamically allocating a VSC to an access point,

wherein, to monitor the network for the event, the one or more processors are to collect operational information about the network, and

wherein the collected operational information and tagged operational information are used to detect the event.

9. The electronic system of claim 8 wherein the action performed by the one or more processors further includes dynamically changing a configuration of services of a VSC.

10. The electronic system of claim 8 wherein the action performed by the one or more processors further includes enabling or disabling an access point.

11. The electronic system of claim 8 wherein the action performed by the one or more processors further includes providing a recommendation for a change to a configuration of the network.

12. The electronic system of claim 8 wherein the event includes at least one event selected from a group consisting of a scheduled event, a manually-triggered event, and a performance level exceeding a threshold.

13. The electronic system of claim 12 wherein said software causes said one or more processors to permit a user to specify a threshold and associate a rule to the threshold, the rule specifying the action to be performed upon the threshold being violated.

14. The electronic system of claim 8 wherein the one or more processors are caused to permit a user to tag a subset of operational information as the tagged operational information.

15. A method, comprising:

tagging, by one or more processors, a subset of operational information as a scheduled event;

monitoring a network for the scheduled event;

detecting, by the one or more processors, an occurrence of said scheduled event; and

based on the occurrence of said detected event, performing an action, by the one or more processors, comprising re-configuring a network accessed by wireless users or making a recommendation for a change to a configuration of the network.

16. The method of claim 15 further comprising defining the action and associating the action with the scheduled event.

17. The method of claim 15 wherein reconfiguring the network comprises performing at least one of dynamically allocating a virtual service community (VSC) to an access point and enabling or disabling an access point.

18. The method of claim 15 further comprising associating the action with the scheduled event.
