The above will make the setting permanent (of course you will also
have
to run:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
if you just want to *test* a new setting (i.e. not permanent)
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.268.1.111 netmask 255.255.255.0
<http://255.255.255.0>
is the command.

can you add a switch to the ifconfig command to make it permanent?

I would say 'no', but man ifconfig would be more authoritative.
Keeping the settings requires the update of the file mentioned by the
other poster. And ifconfig *reads* this file, I don't believe it writes
to it though.
Redhat has their customary system-config-* utils the network flavors
probably write to that file, but not sure if they work from the command
line.
