Dear Murphy!
The POXDesk Terminal problem is solved by appending "poxdesk.terminal" at the end of the command, as per your suggestion. Thanks alot for that. But another problem is that the TopoViewer window in POXDesk was and is still blank and does not show the diagram of topology created whether in POXDesk terminal window or in the normal VM terminal window. I have tried by appending "poxdesk.tinytopo" at the end of the mentioned command (just like appending "poxdesk.terminal"), but no success. Any suggestion(s)?

I am not even sure how you're viewing POXDesk at all given the commandline you're using. You probably need to run at least the web, messenger, messenger.ajax_transport and poxdesk components for poxdesk.terminal to work. In short: start with the suggested commandline and *add* poxdesk.terminal:./pox.py samples.pretty_log web messenger messenger.log_service messenger.ajax_transport openflow.of_service poxdesk poxdesk.terminal -- Murphy On Feb 6, 2014, at 10:35 PM, Rizwan Jamil <u_r_wel...@hotmail.com> wrote:Dears!
