an IP address to the controller LAN port using the switch CLI. The starting point for this procedure
is the switch CLI prompt, that (on a 5406 zl switch) looks like this:

1. Select the controller, by specifying the slot:
services <slot-id> serial
2. If needed, press Enter twice and login using admin for Login and admin for Password.

address of 0.0.0.0.
