Research direction

Start by reproducing the VM host-only interface setup and inspect eth1 after running sudo dhclient eth1 and ifconfig -a. The issue is resolved when the command completes normally and eth1 displays the expected IP address.

Description

Hi. This might be a very basic issue, but I have been trying to configure a host-only network interface without success. I added host-only interface to VM and I can see it in mininet, but then when I execute sudo dhclient eth1, it kind of freeze and the command line disappears. When I use ifconfig-a, I don't see IP address with eth1, but I do see one in the settings.

Any help is appreciated!
