Well I resolved my Fiber issue. I thought my problem was a bad fiber cable since using the flashlight theory I could barely see any light coming through the other end of the patch cord. I found another patch cord and that didn't work. So I took the switch I originally thought was bad and connected it to the new switch via the fiber and I could get from one switch to another. Knowing that switch worked I took that to the NOC and connected the fiber on that end to that switch and I had packet flow from my office to the NOC. Easiest thing was to take the Fiber module I knew worked and exchanged it for the one that was suspect and Houston we have lift off. Now looking at both Switches when this thing happened all lights showed that both were working fine. It gave the impression that the cable was bad. All of this for a flaky fiber module. Now I am just wondering if it is worth getting this repaired as a spare or just throw it in the recycle bin as I can get these for under $100 and it will probably cost that much to get it refurbished.
