Since, no one has suggested this yet, I will: you can go back into the installer utility by running /stand/sysinstall. The installer comes in handy quite a bit when you don't know the actually commands to do something (ie setting up a network interface or partitioning a disk). Once you run /stand/sysinstall, you can scroll all the way to the bottom and select 'Index' and then select 'Network Interfaces'.
