Your problem here is quoting. You need to escape the quotes around the
SQL strings so that the shell (I assume you're using Unix of some
flavour) doesn't interpret them:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -d temp -c 'insert into
temp.ip_mapping_tb(ip,location) values(\'192.100.9.51\',\'FirstFloor\')'
However, if I were you I would consider running via a file anyway - if
you save your query into a file then you can use
psql -d temp -f foo.sql
instead. Within the file you can type your query exactly like it should
be with no special escaping required.
Hope this helps,
