Are you sure they were SFP vs GLC? Some platforms support these differently or 
not at all. Cisco can't keep this straight themselves. They regularly won't 
support their own optics in their own product unless you got the right one. 

Going 3rd party solves all these problems and can save you thousands or 
millions of dollars. I recently paid $35 for optics that were list $1k. Buys 
lots of spares for that cost. I certainly was not going to spend as much on 
optics as the switch!
