Configuring Mininet with Floodlight Controller

Configuring Mininet with Floodlight controller is pretty straight-forward.

First, download and build Floodlight.

$ git clone git://github.com/floodlight/floodlight.git
$ cd floodlight
$ git checkout stable
$ ant
$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/floodlight
$ sudo chmod 777 /var/lib/floodlight

Once built, you can execute Floodlight by,
$ java -jar target/floodlight.jar

Execute Mininet and connect to the controller.
sudo mn --arp --topo tree,3,2 --mac --switch ovsk --controller remote,ip=127.0.0.1

Now if you connect to the Floodlight UI in browser, you may view the nodes emulated by Mininet.
