Using the pre-configured VM

[nilforoosh]

hello i have installed the .vdi file of miniccnx on virtual box and i have these problems:

1- why when I run ¨sudo mn¨ command in terminal for running mininet these errors appears:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/mn", line 5, in pkg_resources.run_script('mininet==2.0.0', 'mn') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 528, in run_script self.require(requires)[0].run_script(script_name, ns) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 1388, in run_script raise ResolutionError("No script named %r" % script_name) pkg_resources.ResolutionError: No script named 'mn'

2- when I test your configuration file for h1--s1--h2 these errors appear :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/miniccnx", line 5, in pkg_resources.run_script('mininet==2.0.0', 'miniccnx') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 528, in run_script self.require(requires)[0].run_script(script_name, ns) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 1401, in run_script exec(script_code, namespace, namespace) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mininet-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/miniccnx", line 145, in

3- in miniccnxedit i can easily put hosts and routers but don´t links; how the links work in editor? how can I put links and join hosts and routers ?

Same here...

The 2nd error can be fixed by adding [preferences] in the miniccnx.conf but, after that bunch of other errors occur. i.e Section errors / Index out of range etc...

1- why when I run ¨sudo mn¨ command in terminal for running mininet these errors appears:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/mn", line 5, in pkg_resources.run_script('mininet==2.0.0', 'mn') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 528, in run_script self.require(requires)[0].run_script(script_name, ns) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 1388, in run_script raise ResolutionError("No script named %r" % script_name) pkg_resources.ResolutionError: No script named 'mn'

This error can be fixed by reinstalling mininet. However, sudo apt-get install mininet doesn't fix it. I just had to clone the git repo of mininet and use the command sudo make install git clone git://github.com/mininet/mininet sudo make install This should fix the error no: 1

For the 2nd Error I modified the miniccnx.conf file like this:

[preferences] getMetrics: 1 ipBase: 10.0.0.0/8 metricsTimer: 30 dbPort: 8086 dbHost: localhost dbPass: root dbName: miniccnx_data dbUser: root terminalType: xterm startCLI: 0 templatePath: miniccnx.conf [hosts] h2: getMetrics=1 h1: getMetrics=1 [routers] s1: getMetrics=1 [nodes] h1: _ ccnx:/,s1 h2: _ cpu=0.1 s1: _ ccnx:/test,h2 [links] h1:s1 bw=100 h2:s1 bw=100 loss=1 delay=10ms After setting it up like this I get this: `sudo miniccnx [sudo] password for user: Parse of miniccnx.conf done. *** Creating network *** Adding hosts: h1 h2 s1 *** Adding links: (100.00Mbit) (100.00Mbit) (h1, s1) (100.00Mbit 10ms delay 1% loss) (100.00Mbit 10ms delay 1% loss) (h2, s1) *** Configuring hosts h1 h2 s1 *** Adding metrics collectors: Host h1: database miniccnx_data already exists: appending data.

*** Done

*** Starting CLI: miniccnx> ccndump h1: h2: s1: miniccnx> `

Notice that there are no FIB entries when I used the ccndump command. Trying to figure out the reason why... I will appreciate any help regarding this @carlosmscabral @chesteve
