Hello,

Hi Cris,
On 2950 what you have is fixed 100base-FX interface and you can not install any other GBIC/SFP over here.
The only option you have is to have a 100base-FX interface on the 2960 switch and connect it to the 2950 100base-FX interface.
WS-C2960-24TC-L switch supports following 100base FX SFPs -
GLC-GE-100FX
GLC-FE-100FX
100base FX uses MMF. Look for the cable specification here -
Since 2950 switch which you have can not accomodate andditional GBIC you won't be able to use 1000 base-SX connectivity, you'll have to go for 100base-FX connectivity only.

Chris,
The 2950 series switches support all Cisco GBIC's.

Hi Chris,
I see a problem over here.
You are referring to WS-C2950C-24 switch.
Cisco Catalyst 2950C 24-24 10/100 ports and 2 fixed 100BASE-FX uplink ports
It comes with 100base-FX uplink ports which are fixed ports, meaning you can't install any other interface over here.
So this model can not support the SFP you are referring to.
Second, as far as I know, 2950 switches which supports Fiber uplink comes with GBIC slots and not SFP slots, you are referring to a MM SFP and not GBIC.
To summarize GLC-SX-MM can not be installed on WS-C2950C-24 switch.
Following is the compatibility matrix for GBICs and SFPs -
You won't find the switch you are referring in the above link because it can not accomodate any SFP or GBIC, it has fixed fiber uplink ports.

If I have a unit of WS-C2960-24TC-L and a unit of cisco WS-C2950C-24 switch.
Can do I connect them using a multimode fiber?
Should I buy a unit of GLC-SX-MM to slot in to WS-C2960-24TC-L?
Then, for WS-2950C, I buy a WS-G5484 - multimode GBIC module for the multimode fiber connection?
