      Describe the issue:
      The script for configuring the network bridges embedded in the configuration is misleading.

      For starters, the script relies on a DHCP server being available for the baremetal NIC. If one isn't, the system will become unreachable and need to be rescued form the console.

      Then the script also assumes that a provisioning network is used, which might not always be the case.

      Suggestions for improvement:
      I suggest that the script should be replaced by a diagram of how networking should be configured. A link to RHEL 8 documentation and how to use nmcli could also be provided
