Abstract
Techniques for automatic remote installation of a virtualization host are described herein. A logical network is configured at a management server to be associated with a network interface card (NIC) of a remote host, where the logical network is identified by a network identifier. The management server installs a software bridge within the remote host, where the software bridge is associated with a bridge identifier that is identical to the network identifier. The software bridge is configured to allow a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) hosted by the remote host to access the logical network via the NIC of the remote host.
