Abstract
A switching device relays data in an on-vehicle network and has a plurality of communication ports. The switching device comprises: a detection unit that detects a failure in communication with another switching device connected to one of the communication ports; and a processing unit that transmits failure information indicating at least any one of a site where the failure in communication occurs and a communication port to be used when the failure in communication occurs by a target switching device being a switching device different from said another switching device, to the target switching device if the failure in communication is detected by the detection unit.
