1. A method of automatically configuring a data network, the data network including a controller and a virtualization host with a hypervisor installed thereon, the method comprising: determining, on the virtualization host in combination with the controller, a channel associated with a first physical network interface in the virtualization host, wherein the channel defines the connectivity provided by the first physical network interface to a plurality of virtual local area networks (VLANs); determining, on the virtualization host in combination with the controller, that the channel is associated with a second physical network interface in the virtualization host, wherein the channel defines the connectivity provided by the second physical network interface to the plurality of VLANs; automatically creating, on the virtualization host in combination with the controller, a virtual switch in the hypervisor for the channel that defines the connectivity provided by the first physical network interface to the plurality of VLANs; communicatively coupling, on the virtualization host in combination with the controller, the virtual switch to the first physical network interface; communicatively coupling, on the virtualization host in combination with the controller, the virtual switch to the second physical network interface; teaming the first physical network interface with the second physical network interface together utilizing the virtual switch; receiving a request, at the controller, to boot an operating system image in a virtual machine in the hypervisor, the operating system image requiring connectivity to at least one or more VLANs; creating, on the virtualization host in combination with the controller, a virtual port in the virtual switch for each of the one or more VLANs that the operating system image requires connectivity to; creating, on the virtualization host in combination with the controller for each virtual port that was created, a virtual network adapter in the virtual machine in the hypervisor; communicatively coupling, on the virtualization host in combination with the controller, each virtual network adapter that was created to a respective virtual port that was created in the virtual switch; and configuring, on the virtualization host in combination with the controller, networking attributes of each virtual network adapter in the virtual machine based upon the one or more VLANs that the operating system image requires connectivity to.
