Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory, computer readable media comprising instructions for execution by one or more hardware processors of a management system to cause the management system to perform operations comprising:
obtaining a network parameter/network interface role blueprint that includes:
at least one blueprint network parameter; and
a corresponding network interface data transmission role that is not associated with a network interface and that identifies a data type that should be transmitted by network interfaces that are configured with network parameters that match the at least one blueprint network parameter;

obtaining, from a switch that includes a switch network interface that was previously configured with at least one switch network parameter, the at least one switch network parameter and adjacent computer network interface information;
determining, using the adjacent computer network interface information, a computer network interface that was previously configured with at least one computer network interface parameters and that is connected to the switch network interface;
matching the at least one blueprint network parameter included in the network parameter/network interface role blueprint with each of the at least one switch network parameter and the at least one computer network interface parameter;
assigning, based on the matching of the at least one blueprint network parameter included in the network parameter/network interface role blueprint with each of the at least one switch network parameter and the at least one computer network interface parameter, the network interface data transmission role to the switch network interface and the computer network interface such that the switch network interface and the computer network interface may begin transmitting the data type defined by the network interface data transmission role; and
configuring a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) included in a computer system that includes the computer network interface to use the computer network interface according to the network interface data transmission role.
