Thanks Will,
Yup speed nonegotiate got one end up at least - so we are now half way there.

Anyway come the install they deploy SM with LX SFPs, the link between

but our end won't light - we are terminating into a 6500 SUP720-3B at
each end.
Sounds like 1000Base-X autoneg. try toggling 'speed nonegotiate' / 'no speed
nonegotiate'
VM are now trying to argue that it's because it's too close, ie below
LX minima link (2m patch lead). However we know their optics light
when in our kit and while I know it's a bit short and ultimately it's
probably shortening the life of the optics but fundamentally I think
it should work.
Realistically there is no minimum distance for 1000LX, and you can sit there
running with a 2m patch lead until the cows come home. Reference a BT Sinet
document maybe? ;-)
