Read through man setleds:
setleds [-v] [-L] [-D] [-F] [{+|-}num] [{+|-}caps] [{+|-}scroll]
Setleds reports and changes the led flag settings of a VT (namely NumLock,
CapsLock and ScrollLock).
The led flags settings are specific for each VT (and the VT corresponding
to stdin is used).
With option -D, setleds will change both the VT flags and their default
settings (so that a subsequent reset will not undo the change). This might
be useful for people who always want to have numlock set.
One might use setleds in /etc/rc to define the initial and default state
of NumLock, e.g. by
INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
for tty in $INITTY; do
setleds -D +num < $tty
done
