Fiber Issue

We are putting up a new building and have run fiber between the new and the old.  I have a Cisco 2821 with a fiber interface and a GBIC at one end and a HP2848 with a GBIC at the other end.  Both are set to 1000DX.  We can't get the connection to come up.  We get line protocol down on the Cisco side and the GBIC interface is down on the other side.  We have a seperate network of fiber that goes between the buildings(Our test network) that goes from HP GBIC in a 2848 to a HP GBIC in a 2848 and that works fine.  We are using the router on the first network because we are trying to ties two subnets together.  Happy to supply router config if needed.

Did you try in one end to swap the 2fibers going to GBIC in order to test if you have RX-RX & TX-TX instead of the wanted RX-TX & TX-RX connections?

try this

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
speed 1000

The speed command is not available on the fiber interface.  I think that is because 1000 is the only option.
use
speed nonegotiate


also
try this

media-type sfp

No media-type or speed commands available on the fiber interface.

However I did find a no negotiation auto which I added to no effect.  I ordered another gbic to see if that is the issue, because everything else seems to work.
