In my last article I had shared the commands to check the firmware and driver version of the ethernet card of your Linux box and also to check if the Linux machine you are working on is physical or virtual.
The below commands are executed in SuSE Enterprise Linux so some of them might not work on other flavors of Linux.
Run the below command and scroll a few lines where you should be able to see your machine's hardware model as shown below

# dmesg | less
#Scroll few lines and you should be able to find the hardware model
[ 0.000000] DMI: HP ProLiant BL460c Gen9, BIOS I36 07/11/2014or you can execute the below command
# dmesg | grep -i DMI

# hwinfo | egrep "system.hardware.vendor|system.hardware.product"
system.hardware.vendor = 'HP'
system.hardware.product = 'ProLiant BL460c Gen9'
I hope the article was useful.
