Using starttime and stoptime within firewall rules does not work, unless the rule, specifies UTC time.

This rule seems to be ignored.

set firewall name INSIDE-OUTSIDE rule 550 description ‘Allow Web Ports 8:30AM-8:30PM’
set firewall name INSIDE-OUTSIDE rule 550 time starttime ‘08:30:00’
set firewall name INSIDE-OUTSIDE rule 550 time stoptime ‘20:30:00’

On the other hand, the following rule works.

set firewall name INSIDE-OUTSIDE rule 550 description ‘Allow Web Ports 8:30AM-8:30PM’
set firewall name INSIDE-OUTSIDE rule 550 time starttime ‘21:30:00’
set firewall name INSIDE-OUTSIDE rule 550 time stoptime ‘09:30:00’
set firewall name INSIDE-OUTSIDE rule 550 time utc

This causes an issue during day light saving times, multiple rules using time rules need to be modified twice a year.

Is it possible to have the time reference the time zone that's been specified?
