If the discovery daemon cannot ping these nodes, or if you just don't  
want to run discovery, then you can generate newSuspect events for  
each new interface, and Capsd will go find services and add the node  
to the system.  This is what happens when you do Admin -> Add  
Interface in the web app.  You can use the send-event.pl script from  
OPENNMS_HOME/bin to generate these events.  Its only unusual  
dependency is the Getopt::Mixed Perl module.
