How to know , which ethernet is our system using.

Is inet0 , a default for any production server ( I mean the server on which the applications are running) or can there be something like inet1 or inet2 etc
In that case how to find the ethernet address.[...]
The inet0 device contains (among other) information about the systems hostname and its default route. However, to find out about the server's TCP/IP address(es) you need to look up the configuration of the "en" devices. Use
Code:
ifconfig -a

to find out how TCP/IP is configured on your system. Then use
Code:
lsattr -El en0

and/or
Code:
lsattr -El ent0

to see the device configuration information stored in the ODM. For a start these commands should return the information you are looking for.

A useful reference on how AIX communicates with other servers is the IBM Redbook IBM eServer Certification Study Guide - AIX 5L Communications
For a general introduction to AIX I would recommend the great document by Stuart Watkiss http://www.watkissonline.co.uk/wordpress/?page_id=2416
