Reviving NSA325V2 - OpenWRT web access

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi all,

I'm trying to revive my old nsa325v2 and thanks to the forum :wink:, I managed to successfully flash the latest OpenWrt release (25.12.5).
However, I can't access the web interface now.

I've already set the NSA325's IP address to : 192.168.178.200
to fit into my lan ip pool.

ifconfig
br-lan    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA

but if I try to load the web interface from browser, nothing is loaded and
if I try to ping it:

from PC to NAS:

ping 192.168.178.200

Pinging 192.168.178.200 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

from NAS to PC:

Could someone help me?

Hi @frollic, thanks for your reply!

As you suggest I tryed to ping 192.168.178.104 and tryed to load this ip from a browser but nothing is reached!

Reset, set the IP by changing the default 192.168.1.1 in /etc/config/network, nothing else.

Reboot or restart the network service afterwards.

Hi @frollic , I found this settings:


cat /etc/config/network

config interface 'loopback'
        option device 'lo'
        option proto 'static'
        list ipaddr '127.0.0.1/8'

config globals 'globals'
        option dhcp_default_duid '00048983f18344a245ddbbe9fcecaabf1680'
        option ula_prefix 'fd2c:461f:aaac::/48'

config device
        option name 'br-lan'
        option type 'bridge'
        list ports 'eth0'

config device
        option name 'eth0'
        option macaddr '10:7b:ef:bc:57:c8'

config interface 'lan'
        option device 'br-lan'
        option proto 'dhcp'

config interface 'lan6'
        option device 'br-lan'
        option proto 'dhcpv6'

following your suggestion I setted:

config interface 'lan'
        option device 'br-lan'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '192.168.178.200'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option gateway '192.168.178.1'
        list dns '192.168.178.1'
        list dns '1.1.1.1'

and the magic became true!
I reach the web interface!!

Thank you for your help!!! :flexed_biceps:
