Abstract
A method for generating a topology view of an industrial parallel redundancy protocol (PRP) network includes: detecting, by one or more processors, a plurality of nodes on the PRP network; determining, by the one or more processors, a first set of the plurality of nodes that connects to a first local area network (LAN); determining, by the one or more processors, a second set of the plurality of nodes that connects to a second LAN; determining, by the one or more processors, connections between the plurality of nodes; and generating, by the one or more processors, the topology view of the PRP network comprising a topology view of the first LAN and the second LAN according to the determined connections.
