Thank you all for your suggestions. After working with GTAC, the issue appears to be with the fiber in the building. Everything else is working correctly.

I would sometimes use a cut cat cable, but that will look better! @Jason As for the fiber port issue, I run G3's which have the same setup of shared ports and it is either one or the other. I thought the fiber took priority, but I am not 100% sure. @Tim I usually keep auto negotiation on whenever possible, the only time I run into an issue is when the infrastructure cannot support gig speed, but the switch and device can. In those instances I hard set the speed. For the uplink fiber ports though, I say to keep it at auto on both ends.

I'm assuming you have matching GBICs such as Multimode or Single Mode. If you still don't get a light, turn your autonegioation off on the uplink ports and check to ensure the ports are administratively up. If all those things are good, then its likely fiber. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Grubbs [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 11:14 AM To: Enterasys Customer Mailing List Subject: Re: [enterasys] <no subject> Hello All, I am now trying to uplink two network closets together using GBICs but the ports aren't lighting up. Are there any special commands to configure on the GBIC ports to get them to uplink?

The commands are very different than on Cisco switches. I know I have to create all of the vlans on the Enterasys switches because they don't recognize VTP but I am not having any luck.
