Grading Checklist

  • Checked iLO network configuration (dedicated vs. shared NIC, IP settings, speed/duplex)
  • Ran basic network diagnostics: ping, traceroute, bandwidth test to iLO IP
  • Investigated switch port statistics for errors, speed negotiation, duplex settings
  • Checked for IP address conflicts using arping or ARP table inspection
  • Verified iLO firmware version and checked for known issues
  • Reviewed iLO active sessions and resource usage
  • Considered duplex mismatch as a root cause for intermittent packet loss
  • Suggested checking the physical cable and port (swap cable, try different switch port)
  • Proposed a workaround (SSH to iLO CLI, serial console) while diagnosing the KVM issue
  • Identified that the Java console crash and HTML5 lag share the same root cause (network)
  • Recommended fixing the speed/duplex negotiation or hard-setting both ends
