Relay device, monitoring device, relay program, and monitoring program

A monitoring device for use in an in-vehicle network that includes a plurality of functional units and a plurality of relay devices configured to relay frames transmitted and received between the functional units, the monitoring device comprising:

• an update confirmation unit including a circuitry configured to confirm completion of setting processing of the plurality of relay devices, the setting processing being for enabling communication in a new network, which is the in-vehicle network in which a new functional unit is connected to any of the relay devices;
• and
• a notification unit including a circuitry configured to, if the update confirmation unit confirms the completion, notify the relay device to which the new functional unit is connected of the completion.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a monitoring program for a monitoring device for use in an in-vehicle network that includes a plurality of functional units and a plurality of relay devices configured to relay frames transmitted and received between the functional units, the monitoring program causing a computer to function as:

• an update confirmation unit configured to confirm completion of setting processing of the plurality of relay devices, the setting processing being for enabling communication in a new network, which is the in-vehicle network in which a new functional unit is connected to any of the relay devices;
• and
• a notification unit configured to, if the update confirmation unit confirms the completion, notify the relay device to which the new functional unit is connected of the completion.
