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 :(
