Are you going to connect these through a hub or switch, or be using DHCP or Fixed IP addresses? Each board will need it's own MAC address. Each will need a unique IP address if using TCP/IP. You will need a cross-over cable if directly connecting two boards. You could send packets as Ethernet frames between the boards. I'd look at the ETH code under LwIP. Look at the ETH IAP code examples. Perhaps read some documentation, this a protocol from the 1970's so assume there's lots of material out there if you want to do your own homework.

I use lan8720a for phy & STM32f429 for mcu.the primary purpose is connect two board for light up led by press key in other board. i apologize for duplicate and  abandon threads.
