Cluster access using IP

I joined a company as a DBA
the company has cluster servers set up.
I was given the 3 ip addresses. i for the cluster and 2 for for the ones the
cluster is made up of. and my login is set up to use SQL Server
Authentication.
How do i connect to the server. I do not know if they are active/active or
active/passive. I do not have any rights on the local boxes for me to telnet
them.
What is the way to connect to the database
what is the default instance that SQl server creates.
thanks a lots in advance
Connect to the address of the SQL Virtual Server, not just the cluster
address or the address of either machine (node).
Cheers,
Rod
