I have just updated my 2 devices and they are now reporting health back to the software controller, but it did take a while to start populating.
I also noticed the IP addresses were missing for the clients and the topology was out of order. I rebooted the devices (not the controller) and everything came right.
@Hank21 do you know if the IES2xx switches will be getting a similar update in the future?
cheers
