    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.
