WG Cloud - FireBox as an NTP Server

Peer

Hi There,

When can we expect to have the ability to set the FireBox as an NTP Server feature through the WG Cloud?

Thank you

@Peer The firebox acts as an NTP server by default when managed by WatchGuard Cloud, pointed at the NTP.org servers. If you'd like to specify different servers, I would suggest managing your firewall locally.

@Peer Apologies, I got this mixed up with the cloud managed APs.
Cloud managed APs connect to the pool.ntp.org servers, this is currently not configurable.

We are working on supporting NTP configuration in the future via WGC.

@james.carson All of our cloud managed Fireboxes do not answer to NTP requests.
Even if we create an explicit policy and Live-Log says traffic is allowew, we get no answers for NTP requests to a cloud managed firebox.

So I vote for NTP Server for cloud managed fireboxes.

Any news over here?

Hi @wejo
The clout managed fireboxes do not yet have this feature. If it is something you require, I would suggest locally managing the firebox.
There is not currently an ETA as to when this might be available.
