Howdy good folks,
After having messed with this issue for days (having pulled several of my grey hair out) - I started to look for other reasons than the rock64 itself, and started to look at my intranet environment.
I have several switches on it, so I decided to be "tough" on them, by switching off everything from the router to all switches. The switches I took 1-by-1 and reset them to factory defaults.
Router on again, then switches online again, one after the other.
After several reboots of the rock64's they finally showed up on the LAN as supposed, with the IP addresses I had given them.
So, I'm happy to report that everything works.
If someone else should encounter similar issue, I just want this post to be a hint of looking outside the SDB. But I think most of you guys would have already done this
