I have a 3560g switch. Have gig sfp interface [GLC-SX-MM=] and want to connect to to WS-2924C-XL f0/24 fasteth fiber port.
I have a patch panel in the middle.
3560g sfp interface [GLC-SX-MM=] SC ---------- ST PP ST ------------------------- SC 2924C-XL f0/24 fasteth fiber port
can I make this work? The lights do not come up. The port are configured correctly. I can not hard code the speed on the 3560 int sfp.

Unfortunately, you can't directly connect a 1GE GLC-SX-MM SFP interface to a 100Base-FX interface. You will need to swap the SFP on the 3560G with a 100Base-FX SFP (GLC-FE-100FX).
Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for your responce.
Looking at the Matrix, I am a bit confused, with the 3560g, should I get GLC-GE-100FX or GLC-FE-100FX?
What is the differance between FE and GE?

Looking at the data sheets, it looks like the GLC-GE-100FX is for systems whose SFP slot supports up to a Gigabit Ethernet line rate, but can also operate at 100Mb (Fast Ethernet). Whereas, the GLC-FE-100FX is for systems whose SFP slot has a maximum bandwidth of 100Mb (Fast Ethernet). You will need to figure out which model 3560 switch configuration you have so that you can choose the proper SFP model.
