Build mininet Environment under Ubuntu

The mininet environment is divided into two steps, as follows:

1. Get mininet source from GitHub to the local opt directory

Open Linux terminal, switch directory to root directory CD/

Switch to the Linux opt directory under CD opt

Get source from GitHub: Git clone git://github.com/mininet/mininet (if Git is not installed, install git first)

2. Installing Mininet

Create a new empty folder under the current directory mkdir mymininet

Fully install mininet to mymininet directory mininet/util/install.sh-s mymininet-a (depending on the network speed, it takes a while to wait patiently), if the first execution fails, re-execute the command again

3. Test Mininet

sudo mn--help

MN--text Pingall

Finally, explain the mininet/util/install.sh-s mymininet-a command.

Mininet/util/install.sh [options]

There are three parameters:

-A: Full installation

-NFV: Install only minient openflow Reference multiple SWITCH and OPEN VSWITCH

-s mydir: Specify directory
