HostAutoConfigurator automatically assigns IP addresses and sets up routing table. It has to be added into each host.

This configurator is deprecated. Please use Ipv4NetworkConfigurator whenever it is possible. This module is kept only because the Ipv4NetworkConfigurator cannot assign IP addresses to modules that are dynamically created/destroyed.
