= Mininet - Setup and usage = == I. setup == 1. Make sure your machine is kvm enabled - e.g. `cpu-checker`'s `kvm-ok` command should return a response like this: {{{ # kvm-ok INFO: /dev/kvm exists KVM acceleration can be used }}} 2. Install kvm/qemu packages. {{{ # apt-get update # apt-get install qemu-kvm unzip }}} 3. fetch the mininet image. The current one can be downloaded from [http://www.openflow.org/downloads/OpenFlowTutorial-101311.zip here]. Unzipping the package should produce one file, !OpenFlowTutorial-disk1.vdi. 4. Launch qemu: {{{ # qemu -m 512 -hda OpenFlowTutorial-disk1.vdi -net nic,model=virtio -net user,net=192.168.101.0/24,hostfwd=tcp::8022-:22 }}} Given that you have X11 forwarding enabled for your SSH session, a window should pop up and you should see the image boot. [[BR]] At this point you have the choice of logging in on that window, or via SSH as follows: {{{ # ssh -Y -p 8022 openflow@localhost }}} In either case, both user and password are ''openflow''.
