Abstract
Techniques and solutions are provided for detecting the source of link errors in a cut-through forwarding network fabric. For example, a network link that is the source of the link errors can be automatically located by polling a network device a number of times to identify a network interface that has an increasing error rate and tracing network interface error rates back through one or more upstream network devices to locate the network link that is the source of the link errors.
