Abstract
A network system for interconnecting an operational technology (OT) network and an information technology (IT) network in a building. The network system includes an OT network, an IT network, and a network tool. The network tool is configured to obtain a current network configuration of a plurality of OT network switches in an OT network. The current network configuration includes at least one of the network addresses of the plurality of OT network switches and a routing table associated with the plurality of OT network switches. The network tool is further configured to update the routing table to route network traffic between the OT network and an IT network. The network tool is further configured to update the network addresses of the plurality of OT network switches to have network addresses within at least one subnet of the IT network.
