IP address of fpga

Thanks Socrates,

I am using Stratix IV GT Signal integrity kit (EP4S100G2F40I1). I am interested to send Ethernet traffic from an FPGA to a PC and vice versa, capture the packets in wireshark and analyse them.

I am currently trying to modify the following reference design (originally for Stratix 4GX) to work on Stratix 4GT device to pass the data through the RJ-45 Ethernet jack in my board.

Single-Port Triple-Speed Ethernet and On-Board PHY Chip Reference Design

Currently I have board to board communication running between two FPGA's with random data. In future I would wish to transmit some information (multimedia files) through this interface.

Would like to hear your ideas, comments and useful sources on how the the above idea can be realized

Thanks for you time
