# Get started with Ethernet

Before you begin:

> 
> 
> - See [*Qualcomm Linux Build Guide*](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70018-254) for common infrastructure setup and build workflows.
> - Flash the corresponding [configuration data table](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/RNO-250403001134/ReleaseNote.html#release-specific-information) (CDT) on the device to ensure that the correct configuration is used for [Ethernet bring up](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70018-26/topic/bring_up-ethernet.html#bring-up-ethernet).

The following figure shows the workflow to get started with Ethernet functionality on your device.

Qualcomm Linux Ethernet workflow

## Set up SSH connection

To enable SSH and connect to the device, do the following:

1. Perform the steps mentioned in [Sign in using SSH](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70018-254/how_to.html#use-ssh) to enable SSH.
2. Connect to the device.

ssh root@<device_IP_address>
        Copy to clipboard

    For example:

ssh root@10.92.160.222
        Copy to clipboard
3. Enter the following password to connect to the SSH shell.

oelinux123
        Copy to clipboard
