I have a router but there is no physical switch, IP address is the one you have to enter into your computer. You must be using Bharati Airtel Internet.
If you are planning to connect two computers then you may have to add a a router, which is separate unit and costs
around $20 or Rs 800/-. The Internet connection goes to the beetel modem as input and you need two more cables to connect your computer to port one and the other end goes to usb port and another from port 3 goes to the other computer/device you are planning to connect.
You have to assign two different addresses to both the devices.

It is very unlikely that you have a managed switch in a home Local Area Network. There are too few devices in a home LAN to justify the cost of a managed switch. Typically a managed switch, 16 port, will run over $800 US.
A managed switch will have a static LAN IP address because you need to log onto it to configure it.
Unmanaged switches, which are common to home networks and many small to medium size business networks, do not have and do not need a LAN IP address so there is none.
Routers, regardless of LAN size, have a LAN IP address which is used to configure the router from the LAN side. If you do not know your LAN IP address of your router, and you have a small network (like one at home), you can determine your IP router address by opening command prompt (start, run - type in cmd and hit enter) and typing in "ipconfig /all" without the quotes and hiting enter. You will be provided the IP address of the pc, the default gateway, and the dhcp server. In small networks the default gateway and dhcp server are the same and this is usually the router LAN IP address.
If you want the IP address of a managed switch, it should have been documented when the IP address was set for it.

Your question isn't 100% clear, but If you want to find the ip address of the router which your computer is connected to, you can open up the command propt, type ipconfig then press enter. The ip address for your router will be listed as the "default gateway".

The switch itself might not have an IP address -- generally a box only has an address if it can be directly contacted remotely -- unless there is a need for remote managment of the switch, it probably wouldn't have its own IP address.
Even if it does, the router may not allow direct contact from outside.

Unless this is relatively expensive managed switch it will not have an address. More useful are the addresses of the machines connected to them, and that of the router itself.

Try doing a trace route, if the switch has an IP address and it processes the trace route the IP address will be returned.
Why do you need it?

in the journey that your 2k3 server is going to be a VPN endpoint to offer get admission to to the community, you are going to could desire to make some substantial transformations. first of all, this is going to could desire to be the gateway gadget on your community. this is not a super concept, in spite of the undeniable fact that, for obtrusive protection motives. you may wish RRAS besides to make it a VPN endpoint yet that somewhat could desire to be on a dedicated server. next, you will could desire to set the server to be a DMZ host on your router so as that all and sundry site visitors that hits the router is forwarded to the server. and you will could desire to offer it a static IP. purely assign it one one on the right subnet yet outdoors the DHCP scope. or you are able to port forward the ports necessary for the VPN -- verify the VPN documentation in help & help; i do no longer keep in mind what they are -- somewhat of bobbing up it a DMZ host. ideally, you are able to desire to have a static public IP tackle from the ISP. you ought to use a dynamic DNS service to maintain song of the present IP tackle, in spite of the indisputable fact that every time the IP tackle transformations the VPN will flow down and could stay down for in spite of the TTL era is on the dynamic DNS service.

Connect a serial cable to the switch, and configure it with hyperterminal.
If it's not configurable, it probably doesn't have an ip addy.
