How could I run ARP in mininet Python script?

Question

I run my topology through this command from a terminal:

sudo mn --custom=~/myTopo.py --topo=myTopo --mac --arp --switch=ovsk --controller=remote

But how could I write the same command in a Python script?

net = Mininet(topo=topo, switch=OVSSwitch, link=TCLink, controller=RemoteController('c0', ip='127.0.0.1', port=6633))

This code is written in the script, but I could not include ARP in a Python script. What is the correct syntax to be written?

You can do it with:

net = Mininet(topo=topo, switch=OVSSwitch, link=TCLink, controller=RemoteController('c0', ip='127.0.0.1', port=6633))
net.staticArp()

I'm using this, and it's not working. I included it in my code and `arp -a` is giving no output, just like when I go `sudo mn --topo` etcetera in the CLI without specifying --arp – WildWilyWilly Sep 23 '21 at 15:19
@WildWilyWilly Do you have another way to establish ARP? – Cloud Cho Jul 13 '23 at 16:05
sorry mate years have passed and the project is archived – WildWilyWilly Jul 16 '23 at 21:55
