Set port speed to 100 on an old GB switch...

Hi all,

We have an old 3508XL switch.  We are trying to connect a new 2960 to it but we purchased the incorrect SFP insert and that speed can only do 100mb.  We are getting link flaps and we suspect that it's a speed issue between the two. However, I cannot find how to set the speed on the old OS of the 3508 switch. 

Below is a show version of the 3508 switch.
