R8500 FIRMWARD: Permit Definition of NTP Server

Would you please update the firmware to permit an Admin to define an NTP Server address within our private networks rather than the device reaching outside to your NTP server?

 

THANK YOU

    Thank you for that feedback. I will pass this along to our engineers for review.


    Again, thank you!

    I'll suggest an even easier fix, how about you un-clog port #123 and stick to being a router so I can actually route my NTP traffic where I want it? If you don't want to totally throw out your way, at least give me a check-box to turn it off and bypass it.  I want to run my own NTP service from my own server behind the router and it's a little hard to do when you have it blocked!  :(
