Vehicle network for data communication between components of a vehicle

A vehicle network for data communication between components of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle network comprises:

• a first data bus;
• and
• at least two first switching devices, each first switching device of the at least two first switching devices having:
• a first data-bus data interface for connection to the first data bus;
• a first component data interface for connection to one of the components of the vehicle;
• a connection state, in which the first data-bus data interface is connected to the first component data interface;
• a disconnection state, in which the first data-bus data interface is disconnected from the component data interface;
• and
• a first gate input for activation of the first switching device in order to switch between the connection state and the disconnection state;
• and
• a first monitoring unit, which is connected to at least one, of the first gate inputs of the at least two first switching devices in order to activate the at least two first switching devices individually in order to switch between the connection state and the disconnection state, wherein the first monitoring unit is connected to the first data bus in order to monitor data communication on the first data bus and in order to activate the at least two first switching devices in dependence on the data communication on the first data bus.
