Nexus 2232PP and glc-T sfp not working

[Todd Volz]

I am wondering if anyone has been able to get GLC-T sfp modules to be recognized by a Nexus 2232PP?

Per the datasheet at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps10110/data_sheet_c78-507093.html

GLC-T are supported, however I am getting "Ethernet102/1/1 is down (SFP validation failed)" from a sh int eth102/1/1 for two different Cisco GLC-T sfp modules (30-1410-02 and 30-1410-03) and a third party GLC-T-JTS.  I have verified that all three modules work when plugged into the NExus 5596UP that I have.

I am running NXos  5.1(3)N1(1a)

Anyone else having similar problems or any recomendations?

Solution:

Before inserting the SFP, set the speed of the port to 1000.  Then install the SFP and my SFPs were recognized.
