Setting device

Abstract

An SDN controller is installed in a vehicle on-board network to control communication settings of SDN switches that forward frames. The SDN controller includes a memory that stores multiple types of configuration information. The SDN controller is configured to execute a selecting process and an updating process when a vehicle on-board device that executes frame-based communication is connected to the vehicle on-board network. The selecting process is a process that selects one of the multiple types of information based on type information of a vehicle on-board device that has been newly connected. The updating process is a process that updates the communication settings of the SDN switch based on the configuration information selected in the selecting process.
