The kernel assigns defaults to those values upon initialisation of the
device. Further than that, it is typically up to the boot process of the
system you are using to setup network interfaces, i.e. nothing to do with
Linux per se but rather with the particular OS around it. In the case of
DHCP the DHCP client might be responsible for setting those values.
Further, some notes:
- On Debian, I'd look into /etc/network, other OSs might have similar setup
files.
- Why do you want to change those values? It might be worth mentioning that
because it might lead to a different solution.
- Use a spellchecker, proper spelling and interpunction would make it much
easier to read your postings. I normally don't pick on people because of
that, but here it is extreme, sorry.
- Don't top post, don't quote signatures. If you don't know what this
means, please read a bit about netiquette on the Usenet, please.
- Nobody cares if the issue is urgent for you, some people even consider
this respectless because it sounds like you are bossing people around but
this is not a paid support hotline and demanding anything is totally
inappropriate.
cheers and good luck
