Not sure if there is a command, but you can do it by hand pretty
easily.
You edit /etc/network/interfaces and then run
/etc/init.d/networking restart
here is my /etc/network/interfaces file, with extra comments. :)
I use static IPs as well.
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian
# installation
auto eth0
## don't want to use dhcp
## iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
# address is the IP of this machine:
address 192.168.1.100
# and this is the netmast:
netmask 255.255.255.0
# This is the address of your gateway, e.g. your NAT/router thing.
gateway 192.168.1.1
# the address for broadcast things (?)
broadcast 192.168.1.255
# end of file
hope that helps!
