Hello,<br />
<br />
We are having some random issues with HP DL320E G8 servers that runs Windows Servers. After some time the IPs from the Windows servers starts flapping (40 icmp ping fine and 40 icmp pings timeout). The IPs configured in iLo (same range and interface) do not show any issues, it pings perfectly.<br />
<br />
On the whole Datacenter, this is only happening with servers running DL320E G8 that runs Windows Servers.<br />

We have upgraded iLo firmware to the latest release but no luck.

HP DL320E G8 and Windows Servers - Random network issues

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
