Exactly. I do also NOT understand why this is so difficult and it takes ages to fix that. It is so anoying.

The plan is to display the IP addresses of these devices via firmware upgrades to the SDN routers, not to the switches. Therefore, we recommend you pay attention to the router’s firmware updates. Thank you!

New Beta firmware available today. I just think it is exact the same one when I read the Change Log. Also still NO ARP update or any other way we see the IP's of the clients :(

Hello, I'm taking the liberty of reinstalling this firmware on an Omada ES-228 GMP V1 switch which, after some time, forced me to roll back.
En effet je me suis retrouver avec des probleme de VLAN et de ACL qui ne prennez en compte que ce qu'il voulais.
En changant de firmware en arriere tout est revenu a la normal.

Hello, are you saying that when a device has a static IP address, its IP address doesn't appear in the list?
If that's the case, I can confirm that it's extremely annoying.
