take a look to the documentation https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Distributed+builds also https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/tour/getting-started/
Ivan Fernandez Calvo: Unfortunately the documentation doesnt say anything about the host:
https://jenkins.io/doc/book/managing/nodes/ 
Maybe you have another hint?
Jira is not a support site see https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/How+to+report+an+issue
BTW, the host setting is a hostname or an IP address of a host you want to use as an agent to execute jobs in it, does not have too much complication or too much to understand.
Ivan Fernandez Calvo: could you please give me any hint, of where I can read more about, what || how to choose the host ip ?
