Cisco 2960 with100-fx SFP port - traffic not passing port

[sasklegassembly]

configuring a Cisco 2960 48 port switch. Have link lights on sfp 100-fx interface but unable to ping connecting switch. (2950) unable to ping the other away as well.

Is your management vlan up up? Does your management vlan have an IP address?

Do you have cdp running? try a "show cdp nei", that will show you if you have layer 2 connectivity to any other connected Cisco device.

Yes the management vlan is up. It does have an IP address. I don't have cdp running.

[Jason Fraioli]

let's see a "show int vlan "

I just swapped the other 2950 back in and it came up right away. If I wasn't using the correct fibre media, I won't get a link light right? The 2950 have fixed 100 Base FX ports and the sfp module we purchased is a GLC-GE-100FX, I am wondering if these 2 interface are compatible.

[Jason Fraioli]

Are you by chance running any vlans on the old switch(s)? Maybe your fiber ports weren't members of the correct management vlan.

[sasklegassembly]

No our switch config is very basic, just 1 vlan thats on each switch.

[Jason Fraioli]

I would check the model numbers on each SFP.
