Ethernet switch, method of configuring in-vehicle network, and vehicle

1. A method of configuring an in-vehicle network, the method comprising steps of:

receiving a first wake-up signal from a first controller among a plurality of controllers in a sleep mode by an Ethernet switch;

activating, by a processor, the Ethernet switch according to the first wake-up signal;

determining, by the processor, a routing port according to a destination address of Ethernet data received from the first controller;

changing, by the processor, a role of a physical-layer processing device included in the Ethernet switch corresponding to the determined routing port; and

transmitting a second wake-up signal of a second controller among the plurality of controllers through the physical-layer processing device,

wherein the step of activating the Ethernet switch includes, when the Ethernet switch includes a plurality of physical-layer processing devices, activating the plurality of physical-layer processing devices included in the Ethernet switch to assign a first role which is assigned to each of the plurality of controllers, and

wherein the step of changing the role of the physical-layer processing device includes changing the role of the physical-layer processing device to a second role in a state in which the first role of each of the plurality of physical-layer processing devices except for the physical-layer processing device corresponding to the routing port is maintained.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first role includes a master, and

wherein the second role includes a slave.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of determining a routing port includes:

extracting the destination address included in the Ethernet data; and

determining the routing port corresponding to the destination address based on a routing table by mapping the destination address and the routing port.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the destination address of the Ethernet data is an Internet protocol (IP) address or a media access control (MAC) address.

5. An Ethernet switch comprising:

a first physical-layer processing device configured to receive a first wake-up signal from a first controller among a plurality of controllers in a sleep mode;

a processor configured to:

activate the Ethernet switch according to the first wake-up signal

determine a routing port according to a destination address of the Ethernet data received from the first controller, and

change a role of the physical-layer processing device corresponding to the determined routing port; and

a second physical-layer processing device configured to transmit a second wake-up signal of a second controller among the plurality of controllers through a physical-layer processing device corresponding to the determined routing port,

wherein the processor activates a plurality of physical-layer processing devices included in the Ethernet switch and activates each physical-layer processing device to assign a first role which is assigned to each of the plurality of controllers,

wherein the processor changes the role of the physical-layer processing device corresponding to the routing port to a second role in a state in which a role of each of the plurality of physical-layer processing devices except for the physical-layer processing device corresponding to the routing port is maintained.

6. The Ethernet switch of claim 5 , wherein the first role includes a master and the second role includes a slave.

7. The Ethernet switch of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

extract the destination address included in the Ethernet data; and

store a routing table by mapping the destination address and the routing port.

8. The Ethernet switch of claim 5 , wherein the processor determines the routing port corresponding to the destination address based on the destination address and the routing table.

9. The Ethernet switch of claim 5 , wherein the destination address of the Ethernet data is an Internet protocol (IP) address or a media access control (MAC) address.

10. A vehicle comprising the Ethernet switch of claim 5 includes a plurality of controllers activated according to the wake-up signals transmitted by the Ethernet switch.
