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/ConfigParser.py", line 347, in items
raise NoSectionError(section)
ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'preferences'

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):

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.

*** Starting CLI:

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
