how to configure IP, gateway, dns using command line in redhat?

and to which files those information are appended?
 
ifconfig utility will do that for you.
example foe eth0

Code:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

this will set ip address and netmask

Code:
route add default gw 192.168.1.1

this will configure your default gateway.

I suggest anyway that you edit your config files directly and set all values there

/etc/sysconfig/network-script/

holds all you interfaces' config files.
So edit the ifcfg-eth0 file to permanently set address and gateway for eth0

Your DNS server settings are instead in the file

/etc/resolv.conf
