What I > need to do is find the file or command to change it statically. Network configuration is saved in `/etc/rc.conf' in FreeBSD. Before you make any changes to that file, however, make sure that: (1) You have a safe backup copy of this file. (2) You have read and understood the relevant parts of the FreeBSD Handbook.
