    why, devices usually have their IP's set in software (usually via a web configurator) then the IP is automatically on the network when you conect the device

    Your question was not descriptive enough, but if you want to manually change the IP address of a network interface then you can do
    Code:
    ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up
