Install mininet on the docker image

 

# git clone git://github.com/mininet/mininet
# cd mininet/util
# ./install.sh -n

 

Exit Karaf and start OpenDaylight

 

opendaylight-user@root>^D
# cd /opt/opendaylight/opendaylight-helium/
# cd bin
# ./start
 

 

Check to make sure dlux console is reachable from a browser.

 

# ip addr show # to find out your docker image IP address

Open up a browser and visit https://172.17.0.8:8181/dlux/index.html [ 172.17.0.8 was the ip address in this case ]. Default user/pass is admin/admin.

 

Mininet Topology

Its time to try out a mininet topology with mininet pointing at the  OpenDaylight Controller running inside a docker image.
