ip_Address_Host_assignmennt
1) How do ip addresses get assigned to a host machine (linux and windows)?
2) If i have a linux machine with 1 apache web servers and another oracle http web server running on it, can i have one ip address assigned for web server 1 and another ip address for 2nd web server? How do you configure this.
3) if i log into a mahine, what command you run to see the ip addresss assigned?

Do you know why ifconfig does not work
$ cat /etc/*-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)
$ ifconfig
-bash: ifconfig: command not found
There are two particularly probable reasons why this command failed. First, either the command was not found because it was not in the execution path. Try "/sbin/ifconfig" instead of just "ifconfig".
If that command also fails, then the package is probably not installed. Try "yum install net_tools", then "ifconfig".
Does binding an ip address to each web server involve a hardware change or a software change?Software/configuration. Not hardware. (though you could add a new physical network connection instead of using sub interfaces).
Does system admin do that or i can provide the ip when i install the web server software?
You'd have to do that after you install the web server software by editing /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
For Oracle web services, you'd have to use the BindAddress directive or the Listen directive: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/q20201/mod/core.html#bindaddress
