The only work around is to purchase Cisco SFP's.

Hi

In addition to the comment above. Here is a bit of an explanation regarding Non-Cisco SFP GBICS.

-----------------------------------------

Cisco-approved SFP modules have a serial EEPROM that contains the module serial number, the vendor name and ID, a unique security code, and cyclic redundancy check (CRC). When an SFP module is inserted in the switch, the switch software reads the EEPROM to check the serial number, vendor name, and vendor ID and recomputes the security code and CRC. If the serial number, the vendor name or ID, security code, or CRC is invalid, the switch places the interface in an error-disabled state.

-----------------------------------------

you could try and check with your Cisco support provider or Transition Networks to see if the SFP Gbic is on Cisco's approved list.

I've heard of a hidden IOS command "service unsupported-transceiver" that might work. Use at your own risk as it may invalidate the SmartNet and/or support, and should only be used for testing purposes.
