EricZ,
Thank you for replying. The NTP server I'm trying to reach is a NIST NTP server on the internet. I have quite a few of my network attached hardware pointing to the same server for clock syncs. I did not configure anything for VLAN1. It's set for DHCP so there is no IP settings assigned to the virtual interface. I have also disabled routing for VLAN1 thinking that may be the issue and I still can't reach the NTP server via the out of band port. It just seems I'm being forced to use a virtual interface on any VLAN for management traffic even though there is an out of band management port available.
If I have to use a virtual interface for SNTP, SNMP, etc for management traffic, I will. It's just a shame I can't just do all of that off of the out of band port.
