Does any command line in mininet can handle it?

I can't think of a way to do this with any of POX's standard components. This would seem to be an unusual use case.

You could write a component to help, but it's not clear how it should work. Again, because this seems like an unusual thing to do/want. Maybe you could explain your use case further.
