title: Mininet Connect CLI Without Using mn
body: <p>Is there a way to connect a remote mininet controller cli without using </p>
  
  <p>$ sudo mn --controller=remote,ip=[controller IP],port=[controller listening port]</p>
  
  <p>command, because I have already created a custom topology on a remote host and want to connect its cli and test it on another python script, but mn command is creating new topology, which deletes my custom one. </p>
