Mininet is majorly used as a learning tool to test, experiment, and learn about software -defined networks. Mininet is preferable because it is very fast and help us to create customizable topologies .In this article , the creation of network in Mininet are provided by our research experts .
Open Miniedit
To create a network using Mininet in Ubuntu, initially you need to open the Miniedit in Ubuntu by executed the following command in the Ubuntu terminal,
Cd /home/research/mininet/Network_Creation
sudo ./miniedit.py
Create a network in Mininet
By using Miniedit , You can create a software defined network (SDN) with the number of host nodes ,openflow switch ,legacy switch ,legacy router and also controller [POX ,NOX,RYU,Open Day Light ,Beacon ]
A host node represents a general purpose computer on the network, any physical or virtual computer system in your organization.
For creating a network, click and drag the Host nodes from the right side window,
After click and drag the host nodes, and then click and drag the switch nodes.
A switch is a node that is running an openflow switch.
A controller node has algorithms to compute signals for feedback control, monitoring or supervision.
Followed by click and drag the host nodes switch nodes and then click and drag the controller nodes.
Make a link between the three nodes,
The final step is save the network file by click File à save à Enter the file name to save.
We hope that we provide you enough information about creating a network in Mininet. If you have any related queries please contact us.
