Hello,

I guess if it works for a few hours and then stops working, you have three options:

1. Try the same SFP in a different port

2. Try another SFP in the same port

3. Exchange the (fiber) cable

Basically, you want to find which component is malfunctioning. If the same SFP works in a different port, there is a problem with the port. If the same SFP does NOT work in a different port, there is a problem with either the SFP or the cable.

That said, the problem could also be on the other side of the link, at the core switch. Check the logs of both devices (show log) for any relevant messages...

Layer 1 issue.
Are you sure the fibre link is active?
Get a visible light and see if light appears at the far end.

Was going to ask, what code? Also, is there a stack module installed? I have seen issues with a certain manufacturing run of stack modules and 2960x. Causes the SFP port uplinks to stop working. Generally a code change will fix it, with the exception of one specific small run of modules that just weren't compatible with our 2960x chassis that Cisco had to replace directly.

Have you tried to move the SPFs to another working port and vice versa, there looks like an error in the attached commands which indicates a failure with the SFP.
You can try and use show interface transciever details to see what the power levels look like.
