ReadyNAS & Frontview - Certificate Error
I have had my ReadyNAS NV+ v2 for about a week now. When I hooked it up it was assigned an IP address of 10.0.0.9. Shortly after I got it running I had need to change the IP adddress to 10.0.0.50. No...
You can
(a) reset the IP address back to 10.0.0.9. The OS reinstall will not guarantee that the router will assign the same address; what it will do is reconfigure the NAS to use DHCP. You should be able to log into the NAS by clicking through the warning - so there is no need for the OS install.
(b) Recreate the security exception in the browser. This is the simplest thing to do. Some browsers make is easier than others, FireFox is friendlier than IE and Chrome in this regard. Note that you can recreate the security exception even though the IP address is now different. What browser are you using?
In the x86 and sparc platforms, there is a way to regenerate the SSL certificate using he new IP address. I don't see this feature in the v2 documentation, though honestly it isn't really needed. Even if you regenerate it you still need to recreate the browser security exception because it is self signed.
BTW, an OS install will not destroy your data. It will reset your admin password, and it will reset the IP configuration to use DHCP - meaning that the NAS will request an IP address from the router.
