Connect Azure Sphere to Ethernet

You can connect an Ethernet-enabled Azure Sphere device to a public (internet-connected) network and communicate with Azure IoT or your own cloud services, or you can connect it to a private network and use network services.

Prepare Azure Sphere for Ethernet

To communicate over Ethernet, an Azure Sphere device requires an external Ethernet adapter and a board configuration image. The board configuration image contains information that the Azure Sphere Security Service requires to add support for Ethernet to the Azure Sphere OS. See Prepare Azure Sphere for Ethernet, which describes how to connect a supported adapter to your Azure Sphere device, create and deploy a board configuration image package file, and enable the Ethernet interface.
