HTB Academy Linux Fundamental - how to get name of network interfaces?

Hi, I am new to HTB and was enrolled in the Linux Fundamental module. I got stuck on a question that asks for the name of the network interface that MTU is set to 1500. I tried to use ifconfig -a and found several interfaces(eth0, eth0:1, eth1) whose MTU was set to 1500. I typed in each of them but still the answer was incorrect. Did I do anything wrong? Appreciate if anyone could help :))

Hi BenchDing, thanks for your reply. I simply followed the instruction and spawned a remote machine.

Hi, there should be a table of contents on the right side of the page. I think the first several pages do not contain any questions indeed. The question I was asking is the last question located in the section named “System Information”

Well I just sorted it out. It was because I worked directly on the spawned machine. The correct way to work with this is to spawn another target machine and connect to it via ssh from the previously spawned machine. Thanks for your help!
