https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EthtoolOut of the options provided, the correct tool to check if an EC2 Linux Instance supports Enhanced Networking is 'ethtool'.
'ethtool' is a Linux command line utility that allows users to view and modify network interface controller settings. By using 'ethtool', we can check if the EC2 instance has the required drivers and settings enabled for Enhanced Networking.
Enhanced Networking is a feature of Amazon EC2 instances that enables higher bandwidth, lower latency, and lower jitter networking. To support Enhanced Networking, the instance must have the Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) driver installed and must be launched with the appropriate instance type.
To check if an instance supports Enhanced Networking using 'ethtool', follow the below steps:
Therefore, option B (ethtool) is the correct answer to the question. The other options, 'networkping', 'awsnetwork', and 'tracert' are not relevant for checking Enhanced Networking support on EC2 instances.
