needed sfp fiber module configuration in 2960 x series switch

[sreekanth gande]

Hi

 I am beginner, we bought a cisco 2960 X-series switch model no WS-2960-24TS-L and we bought SFP fiber module, how can i configure the sfp module. help me with the configuration commends. when i run sh int gi1/0/25 capabilities it gives the type 1000BaseSX, but when i run sh int gi1/0/25, the gi1/0/25 is down, line protocol is down(not connected). The other end of the fiber connected with sfp fiber modules to srw2024-k9-eu switch.

Hi

You must use media-type command & set the port type to sfp.

configure the media-type with this command.

media-type configuration example:

interface Gigabit0/0
 media-type rj45 (UTP)

interface Gigabit0/0
 media-type sfp (fiber)

my mistake. you dont need the media-type command. recheck you connections and it will be ok.
