Last time i tried, an NPE-G2 refused to accept a GLC-SX-MM.  You can 
imagine that this was surprising, to say the least.  I will not repeat the 
sentiments or language that were expressed by the individuals involved at 
the time, but let's just say that it was considered Deeply Unhelpful that 
Cisco commodity hardware was not compatible with, uh, other cisco commodity 
hardware.

This is a software version dependent, and that GLC-SX-MM transceivers will 
work on an NPE-G2, if you have the right software.
