The following should be installed for you, so skip this step.Check Internet connectivity: Make sure you can access the Internet from your VM.You’ll use this to SSH to your VM shortly. Write down the IP address for host-only - it should be something like 192.168.56.101. If one of the two is missing, run “sudo dhclient ethX” (replace with eth0 or eth1). One should have a .X (host-only) and the other 10.0.X.X (NATted). Check the available networks in your VM by typing “ifconfig”.When prompted, login using cs244/cs244 as user/password. Enable host-only adapter: On your newly created VM, go to Settings->Network->Adapter 2 and add a host-only-network adapter (using vboxnet0).Import VM: On VirtualBox, go to File->Import Appliance and select the.Enable host-only network: On VirtualBox go to Preferences->Network->Host-only Networks and add a host-only network adapter (vboxnet0).Download and install VirtualBox, a virtualization platform.

If you have any problems go to Mininet website for a tutorial and more detailed instructions. Mininet can create virtual networks with arbitrary topologies, which run within a Virtual Machine (VM) that you install at your laptop. We strongly recommend more recent Ubuntu releases, because they support newer versions of Open vSwitch.These instructions are for setting up a VM on your local machine for completing PA2. It assumes the starting point of a fresh Ubuntu, Debian (or, experimentally, Fedora) installation. This option works well for local VM, remote EC2, and native installation. Option 2: Native Installation from Source This is the source for Mininet-WiFi support and discussion with the friendly Mininet-WiFi community. Sign up for the mininet-wifi-discuss mailing list.

We recommend VirtualBox (free, GPL) because it is free and works on OS X, Windows, and Linux (though it’s slightly slower than VMware in our tests.) You can also use Qemu for any platform, VMware Workstation for Windows or Linux, VMware Fusion for Mac, or KVM (free, GPL) for Linux.
