I received several TeraStation NAS boxes which I can't configure because I can't connect to them, presumably because they were setup for a specific environment. I'm hoping to virtualize the environment needed to properly connect to them. I have them all connected to a 16-port switch. My Ubuntu desktop has 2 NICs, one with my internet and the other unused. I have a Ubuntu laptop with virtualbox if I need it. The NAS boxes are configured as such:
IP: 172.16.2.20X
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway:172.16.2.1
I tried to have my eth1 be 172.16.2.1 and added that as a route, but no such luck. I need to access the webpages of 172.16.2.201..207 to make the proper networking changes. How do I setup my eth1 or a VM such that I can reach these hosts?
Edited to amend information:
