Since the VSWITCH only registers the IP address the guest tells it to use, at that point you'd be able to do a plain "ifconfig" command to see your IP address. If he's looking for ways to set the IP address and hostname, not recover it, there are various ways to do that. One that I like is having every guest linked to one particular CMS minidisk that has a config file for every system that contains the "identity" of that system. Nice, centralized place to keep all your guest configs (good for DRA), and all you need is the cmsfs package.
