Finding name and IP on Linux :

The computer always has two identification one is for non-network environment and second for network environment.The non-network identification of computer is being used locally and that is only for the application.
On the other hand, the network identification for computer is based on the connected NIC(Network Interface card).The network identification of any computer is known as IP addresswhich is generated by attached NIC card into your computer system.

Finding name of the system:

Finding the name of Computer is slightly different from finding IP(Internet Protocol).You can find out the name of a computer system using the following command,
Open your terminal and type :

# Hostname

This command will return your name of the computer and you can use it whenever your application requires it for installation.

Finding IP address on Linux :

You can show your IP address of the computer system if you are running in a network environment. This address is being used by another system to connect with your computer and in this way, you can use the IDs of other system to connect with them.

To find out the IP address of your computer,you need to execute the following command :

# ifconfig

This command will show you the IP address with much more information.
