I am guessing you meant one switch with three hosts?

These aren't MAC addresses; they're the DPIDs of switches.  (POX always uses dashes for DPIDs and colons for MACs.)

It sure looks like it has two switches.

This looks exactly like you have two switches with no links between them.  Are you running Mininet from the commandline or from a script?  Are you positive you're not specifying two switches?

Aside from the fact that you're seeing two switches instead of one, what problem(s) are you experiencing?
