Well, the only thing you'll need to do is once that you've received your 
static IP address assignment, reconfigure eth0 with the static IP address, 
instead of DHCP.  You can do this either by running system-config-network, 
or by hand-editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.  Change 
"BOOTPROTO=dhcp" to "BOOTPROTO=none", and add "IPADDR=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd", 
"NETMASK=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd" and "GATEWAY=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd".  Then, ifdown eth0, 
followed by ifup eth0, to reconfigure the port.
