Hi Gabriel,

This happened to me too.  I found for some reason that having the vlan
configuration applied to one of the ports that wasn't being used caused the
snmpwalk to not return the right information.

I know it isn't a great solution but I just removed the configuration from
the unused ports and the discovery starter working.
