You don't.  You edit the active interfaces ifcfg-interfacename file to set 
those, disable the dhcp request (unless the network runs a dhcp server of 
course), and then restart the network.  In many distros the ifcfg-* files 
are located in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.  You'll need to do that 
editing via the sudo command though, using your favorite editor. I'm 
partial to vim myself.
