### Ethernet (when Ethernet support is compiled in)
Ethernet support is available on RAK4631 boards with a RAK13800 (W5100S) Ethernet module. Use the `_eth` firmware variants (e.g. `RAK_4631_repeater_eth`) to enable this feature.

#### View Ethernet connection status
**Usage:**
- `eth`
**Output:**
- `ETH: <ip>:<port>` when connected (e.g. `ETH: 192.168.1.50:5000`)
- `ETH: not connected` when Ethernet is not active
**Notes:**
- The Ethernet interface obtains an IP address via DHCP automatically on boot.
- A TCP server listens on port 5000 (default) for CLI connections.
- For repeaters and room servers, connect with any TCP client (e.g. `nc`, PuTTY) to access the same CLI available over serial.
- For companion radio firmware, the Ethernet interface replaces BLE/USB as the transport to companion apps.
