FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication networks. The method comprises: a plurality of nodes interconnected via inter-node links in a meshed topology, the method comprising: identifying, between a sending and receiving node, a first and a second communication path with no common link or node except for the sending and receiving node, where an intermediate node of the first communication path and an intermediate node of the second communication path are interlinked via internode connections in a communication network; configuring, in the communication network, a first Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) and a second VLAN based on the first and second communication paths, respectively, and configuring the sending and receiving nodes to operate according to the Parallel Redundancy Protocol PRP, with first and second communication ports of the sending node and the first and second communication ports of the receiving node assigned to the first and second VLAN, respectively.
EFFECT: safer data transmission within a network.
