Hi vvram,
Welcome to the community! :)
From what I have understand on your initial post, you have not yet tried to upgrade the firmware from v6.1.0.9 to v6.2.0.14, am I right? If ever I'm correct, then I think the only work around / solution is to try to upgrade the firmware to v6.2.0.14 since the fix is already mentioned on the release notes. Be reminded that its recommended to perform a factory reset on the switch after a successful firmware upgrade then reconfigure it from scratch.
The old forum link you mentioned that you cannot access is now accessible. Kindly click here.

Hi DaneA,
Thanks for the prompt response.
Yes, I'm still on firmware v6.1.0.9. Firmware upgrade won't be possible at least for a month. That's why I'm looking
for a workaround. If I can delete one of the existing SNTP servers or increase the SNTP server limit, then I should be able to able to
add an SNTP server as type "DNS" (with domain name) which should solve the issue, I guess.
As of now, the SNTP server "Address type" is shown as "unknown" in the CLI.
In the POST request for deleting an SNTP server (through web interface), I tried modifying the "address_typ" as "unknown" (instead of "DNS") using a "burp proxy", but that didn't help.

Hi vvram,
Since you will be doing the firmware upgrade within the next month, kindly post an update if ever you have already performed it and let us know your observations as well.
