Now, i want to check if my ip address have become static or not. So, how can i do that ?

Check the interfaces file in /etc. It will show if you are using DHCP or a static address. I cannot say with certainty exactly where the file will be with Fedora and RedHat, but with Debian-based systems it is /etc/network/interfaces.

According to your profile you are on RHEL/Fedora.
Check your network config files:
If there is a line saying you are on DHCP, If there is are lines saying
you are on static IP.

And if you want to verify that the configuration file has been applied correctly, run "ifconfig eth0" and vberify that the IP address shown is the correct static IP.
