I am on of the linux server and I have to identify the Loadbalancer IP address to which this linux server is added to. As per the image , I am on one of the Linux Server and trying to find the IP address of LB or IP address from where traffic is coming to Linux Server .

Best way: refer to your architecture documentation.

You provide no useful information, so as a generic answer to get you going:

You could do a netstat to look at all the connections, that might give you a clue, or it might not, depending on if the load balancer is doing NAT.

Try providing useful information such as the type of load balancer and how it's implement. For example I can think of at least three different ways of doing load balancing and all are VERY different.

And to add to what TenTenths said, the load balancer may be set up to not give ANY information away and be 'invisible', to prevent attacks/probing. Or is this homework?
