I can find several topics as how to attach your NAS when you have the IP address. However, I have the opposite use case: my NAS shows up in Finder under the Network tab. How can I find out my ip address of the NAS?
I need to get the ip address in order to load the management panel.
Even just "ping -c1 <name>.local" would work, since the first line of the output would be something like:
PING <name>.local (<IP Address>) 56(84) bytes of data
Even just "ping -c1 <name>.local" would work, since the first line of the output would be something like:
PING <name>.local (<IP Address>) 56(84) bytes of data
You may be able to find it in your router controls. You can try 192.168.1.1 in your browser to access your router controls. You'll likely see a list of devices and the assigned addresses.
I happen to use a (static) Reserved DHCP address for my Diskstation NAS that resides outside of the range of normal DHCP assignments. I also bookmarked that DiskStation web Management panel address in my browser so it is a one-click access. Otherwise, I would have to do the following to ascertain the NAS IP address from its hostname:
ping -c1 DiskStation2.local | egrep -om1 "\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+"
You would need to access your router’s control panel to see what IP address it assigned to the NAS. Don’t think there’s anyway to see the IP directly on the Mac.
my synology nas have an app for mac and windows which scan the network and list the nas on the network with IP displayed
that was the easiest. thx!
I understand that and I was just cleaning up the output to show the specific IP address. The pipe into egrep part is user-optional.
Oh, it's definitely more elegant - and if the output was more complicated than you get from ping, maybe even vital.
