Hello, I use WS-CE500-24LC Small Business Switch (IOS VER: 12.2(25)SEG6) and I need to use it with Gigabit SX Mini-GBIC Transciever (LC SFP) optical module. I tried Cisco MGBSX1 module, but the switch detects this module as non-compliant SPF module and switches the port to the off-line. I also tried some non-Cisco SFP modules, but with the same result. The only module that works is (as GLC-SX-MM copatible) Finisar SFP module marked FTRJ8519BNL (850nm SX MM), but it is end-of-life product. Does exist any Cisco SFP module that works in the WS-CE500-24LC switch?
Thanks a lot.
Erik.

The CE500 line of switches have been announced End of Sale/End of Life. Because of this you are finding that compatible GBICs are also EoS/EoL. The last hardware ship date for this product line was March of this year. You can find suggested replacement product information on the EoS/EoL announcement located here.
