A technician is adding a server to a demo room, will be using the current cable plant from the datacenter, and has added a cable to reach the server. The technician keeps losing server connection, but

An incorrect VLAN configuration would typically prevent network communication entirely or misdirect traffic, not cause intermittent loss while the link remains active.

An incorrect configuration on the demo server would likely result in no connection or specific application issues, rather than intermittent loss with an active link.

Exceeding the maximum specified cable distance for a given network standard (e.g., Ethernet) can lead to signal degradation and attenuation, causing intermittent data loss and connectivity issues even if the physical link remains up.

An incorrect network being used would mean the server is on a different subnet, preventing communication rather than causing intermittent connection loss with an active link.
