Cisco C3560 Switch using an SFP to connect via fibre to a Linksys SRW2048

Hi,

I have an issue that I am trying to resolve.  I am trying to connect a Cisco C3560 Switch using an SFP to connect via fibre to a Linksys SRW2048 with another SFP.

When I connect the two together no lights show up on either side. If I connect the linksys to another linksys with the same SFP and fibre, the link comes up stright away.

If I set the port on the cisco switch side to "speed nonegotiate" the link comes up on the cisco side, but nothing on the linksys side, no lights on the switch nothing.

I have gone through the linksys switch and everything looks ok, but I am doing something wrong.

What am I doing wriong?

when you connect the cisco to the linksys use the sh ip interface br command to see if the interface is up when connected you may see something like this.
Interface     IP-Address     OK?  Method  Status                  Protocol

Ethernet0     10.108.00.5    YES  NVRAM   up                      up      

Ethernet1     unassigned     YES  unset   administratively down   down    

Loopback0     10.108.200.5   YES  NVRAM   up                      up      

Serial0       10.108.100.5   YES  NVRAM   up                      up      

Serial1       10.108.40.5    YES  NVRAM   up                      up      

Serial2       10.108.100.5   YES  manual  up                      up      

Serial3       unassigned     YES  unset   administratively down   down


Indicates the status of interface. Valid values and their meanings are:

•up—Interface is administratively up.

•down—Interface is administratively down.

•administratively down—Interface is administratively down.

ensure both the linksys and the cisco has a ip address. ensure you type the no shutdown on the cisco port. also use this command 'show service-module <the interface> performance-statistics 30-32' to see the performance of the port.
hope this helps.

Your kidding, of course I checked that the ports are up. It is not a router it is a switch and there is an ip address on the VLAN. Your proposed output would be seen on a router.
Now you have commented, others who actually may have something intelligent to say will not want to comment.
Please make comment on this.
