NSDT on linux does not find all switches while NSDT on windows in virtual machine finds all

NSDT (1.2.103) on Linux only discovers a small number of my switches.

At the very same time, when I run NSDT 1.2.103 in a virtualbox with Windows it finds 11 (and sometimes 10) of my switches. The virtual Windows is on a bridge network device.

Does anybody use the Linux version with success?

This release note states that the switches have to be on the same network to be discovered by the Linux (and Mac) versions of the tool.

Update: not sure what they mean by "same network" - presume same ethernet network. When I ran, it found both of my switches but I have a tiny network.
