# Get started with Ethernet

Before you begin:

> * See [Qualcomm Linux Flash Guide](https://dragonwingdocs.qualcomm.com/Key-Documents/Flash-Guide) for common infrastructure setup and build workflows.
> * Flash the corresponding [configuration data table](https://dragonwingdocs.qualcomm.com/Key-Documents/Software-Release-Notes/release-specific-information) (CDT) on the device to ensure that the correct configuration is used for [Ethernet bring up](https://dragonwingdocs.qualcomm.com/Technologies/Ethernet/bring-up-ethernet).

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

## **Set up an SSH connection**

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

1. Perform the steps mentioned in [Sign in using SSH](https://dragonwingdocs.qualcomm.com/Key-Documents/Flash-Guide/how-to-sign-in-with-ssh) to enable SSH.
2. Connect to the device.
   ```text theme={null}
   ssh root@<device_IP_address>
   ```
   For example:
   ```text theme={null}
   ssh root@10.92.160.222
   ```
3. Enter the following password to connect to the SSH shell.
   ```text theme={null}
   oelinux123
   ```
