setting up static ip using shell command

Hi,

Is there a command in linux to set-up static ip from command prompt?
I don't want to change it through configuration files and any similar mechanism. I need to change it directly from command prompt.

Thanks in advance.

Code:

ifconfig ethX x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x

will do it, but it will be overridden by the config files on reboot, or network restart.

nope, you would need route for that..

Code:

route add default gw x.x.x.x

your probably also going to want to edit /etc/resolv.conf

Code:

nameserver x.x.x.x
