cli.py 7.17 KiB
"""
A simple command-line interface for Mininet.
The Mininet CLI provides a simple control console which
makes it easy to talk to nodes. For example, the command
mininet> h27 ifconfig
runs 'ifconfig' on host h27.
Having a single console rather than, for example, an xterm for each
node is particularly convenient for networks of any reasonable
size.
The CLI automatically substitutes IP addresses for node names,
so commands like
mininet> h2 ping h3
should work correctly and allow host h2 to ping host h3
Several useful commands are provided, including the ability to
list all nodes ('nodes'), to print out the network topology
('net') and to check connectivity ('pingall', 'pingpair')
and bandwidth ('iperf'.)
Bugs/limitations:
- Interactive commands are not supported at the moment
