Hi Dhananjaya Bulugahamulle ,

You can try below code in VF page to get IP address. 
String ipAddress = ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('X-Salesforce-SIP');
'True-Client-IP' - when the request is coming via the caching integration.
'X-Salesforce-SIP' - when the request is not via caching integration (sandbox, developer edition orgs) or via the secure url.

Unfortunately triggers are not aware of Visualforce pages, they seem to operate a lot closer to the database (an educated guess really). What this means is that the system methods available for visualforce pages aren't going to do very much at a trigger level

I think you should check login history to get API Address in Trigger by below query 
List<LoginHistory > lst= 
[SELECT UserId, LoginTime , SourceIp ,NetworkId from LoginHistory where UserId =:userinfo.getuserid() order by LoginTime desc limit 1];
System.debug('---->'+lst);
Please let us know if this will help you.

try below but it works with contollers, extension related to pages  not in triggers, but  if your operation is initated in a visualforce page you can use static variable or a object field to pass the value to tigger
  
String ipAddress = ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('X-Salesforce-SIP');

Hey, the problem is we want to get the source IP field from login history object. We do not know how to get it. We can get the IP but the system randomly chooses a one. Do you have any idea about it?
