  • Publication number: 20250132977
    Abstract: A central ECU serving as a communication control device is provided with a memory and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor receives a change notification relating to a change of an intra-vehicle network communication setting from a center server; and determines whether or not new setting information of the intra-vehicle network that is required in association with the change notification is memorized at at least one of the central ECU and an Ethernet switch. When it is determined that the setting information is memorized at neither the central ECU, or the Ethernet switch, the processor requests the setting information from the center server.
