Set IP address useing ifconfig command:ex.
```
ifconfig re0 inet 202.54.1.22
```

To setup up ip permanently open file /etc/rc.conf, then add or modify network information:

vim /etc/rc.conf

ex.

hostname="www.example.com"
ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.10.10 netmask 255.255.250.0"

Run /etc/netstart script.

re0 is Ethernet interface name, obtained using ifconfig -a.
