Abstract
A disclosed example includes configuring a virtual network and a physical network for at least twenty-four hosts and a top-of-rack switch in less than one minute by: generating, by executing an instruction with one or more processors, network topologies of the hosts based on physical network connection information indicative of physical network connections between the hosts and the top-of-rack switch; determining, by executing an instruction with the one or more processors, whether implementing the network topologies of the hosts concurrently is valid based on an evaluation of the network topologies relative to a network topology validation rule; and configuring, by executing an instruction with the one or more processors, the top-of-rack switch based on one or more of the network topologies.
