3860 switch confused on port allocation

Hi

 

I have just purchased some WS-C3850-12S switches ..... i am trying to create a number of straightforward 1 gig uplinks from 2960 switches using fibre and sfps.

 I am confused which ports i am suposed to configure the trunks on as the sh runn shows the below when i plug sfps into port 1/0/1 and 1/02 ......

 

Ive read up a bit - is it that if i want 1 gigabit ethernet i configure port 1/1/1 and if i want ten gig i configure port 1/1/1 and 1/1/2 ...why two ports for ten gig are these port-channels to make 10 gig ......or am i just losing the plot ?

 

be great if someone hasa 2960 with trunk port and an sfp iplinking to one of these to send a basic config

 

Any help appreciated as the internet is not littered with examples :)

 

many thanks
