Topology is the interconnected pattern of network elements. The topology may be physical, mapping hardware configuration, or logical, mapping the path that the data must take in order to travel around the network. In this article, we provide you steps to create topology in Mininet.
Open MiniEdit in Mininet
MiniEdit is a Mininet application in python that lets you develop software defined networks in a visual manner. You can create networks visually for a Mininet emulation using MiniEdit, or loading an existing Mininet topology saved as .mn file into MiniEdit to edit it.
To create a topology in Mininet, open the MiniEdit in Ubuntu by execute the following command lines,
cd /home/research/mininet/My_Mininet_project
sudo ./miniedit.py
Create a topology in Mininet
After open the MiniEdit in Ubuntu, follow the below steps to create a topology in Mininet,
Step 1:
Initially a window will open, which is drag and drop the networking components,
The above listed components are used based on your requirements and set their attributes.
Step 2:
Now go to File in the top menu bar and select Export Level2 script from the drop down menu. And then type the file name and save the file with the file extension .py .
