Thanks Carlos. I was using the source code version. I downloaded the source in an Ubuntu laptop and installed after compiling the source.
I faced an issue with the MN with IP routing. Unable to configure the IP of the individual hosts and IP connectivity was not exisiting. Pings were failing. That is why I was checking. May be I am missing some steps in installation. But I will give it a shot with a VM using Virtual BOX on my desktop.

Hello to all! To start, I know that there is a mininet mailing list. I have already sent an e-mail to there, but until now, I had no response. This is my issue. I have created a python program to create a testing topology. For some reason, when I use the "addHost" method and use the argument "mac" to specify the mac address for the host interface, mininet ignores the provided mac address an seems to create and specify the hosts with random mac addresses. I do not know why this is happening... Can anyone help me? This is my Python program #### Starts here #!/usr/bin/python2 """ Custom Network Topology 2 different zones each controlled by a different Controller Each controller manages 3 OpenFlow switches Each OF Switch has 3 hosts connected Each zone has a triangle shaped topology, where all switches are conected to the controller 2 Switches from each zone, interconnect the two zones - Switch 2 from Zone 1 connects to the Switch 1 from Zone 2 - Switch 3 from Zone 1 connects to the Switch 2 from Zone 2 The two controllers are remote controllers, residing outside from the mininet environment.
