Just ran a debug on discovery from a particular host, and I can see devices getting discovered and resolved correctly.  But a discovery -h all didn't add them as new devices?  Am I wrong about when the autodiscover and subsequent add should happen?  They do allow me to add them manually but we're talking hundreds of switches...

Cheers,
Emma
