The VM doesn't have an IP address - the guest OS does (the VM does have
its own MAC address, however).  You need to set it up in the guest OS.

You can do it by either setting a static address in the guest, or if you
have a DHCP server you can configure (i.e. a router), you can use DHCP
in the guest and set the DHCP server to assign a specific IP to the VM's
MAC address.
