Solution

To list all the network interfaces on an Amazon Linux host, the correct command is:

ifconfig

The command ifconfig will display all active network interfaces along with their configurations. Note that in some environments, especially with newer versions of Amazon Linux or in other distributions, you might also use ip addr to achieve the same result.

Here’s a brief explanation of the two commands:

  1. ifconfig: This utility is used for network configuration and can display the current network interfaces, their IP addresses, and other relevant information.

  2. /proc/interfaces: This path does not correspond to a valid file. It's likely a misunderstanding; network interface details can instead be found in /proc/net/dev.

In summary, you should use the ifconfig command or ip addr to see the list of network interfaces.
