That's incorrect. If you configure a laptop on the same subnet and try to ping the server, that ping still has to go through the laptop's NIC, the cable to the patch panel, the switch port the patch panel is connected to, the other switch port, the other patch panel, the cable from the patch panel to the server, then the server NIC. IF you ping doesn't go through, where's the problem? It could be any of the points mentioned above.

The right test woulb be to configure a laptop with the IP of the server and plug it right to the very same cable that plugs into the server.
