Once Mininet is installed you can use its functionalities from any local hosts as well as remote host. Please go through the following link for further details: http://mininet.org/walkthrough/

Thank you for the response Md. Rashid Al Asif

I read all that... I learned that I can use hwintf.py mininet example to achieve the lab setup but I tried and it didn't work. When I use the ip of my windows vm as host in mininet, it is not working for me. Can you please elaborate how I can add a remote host to my mininet?

Is network connectivity (ping test), alright? Moreover, don’t forget to check port is open.

The ping test is not working... When I try to ping the VM, it is not pinging

Please read the following article to setup network configuration in the virtual environment:

Hello, were you able to solve this problem? I'm facing the same issue.

Thank you so much.

Install your SDN VM on your VMware or Virtualbox as like other operating system, then will install like Linux OS because it used the Linux carnel and login the Mininet environment using special commands. Read and follow this link you will get more about the Mininet and issues related to it.
