[c-nsp] Funny problem w/ SFP link on Nexus 5548

[Garry]

Hi,

I'm currently at a customer who got a 5548 with 2248 FEX and several
2960S connected to the 5548, everything working fine. Anyway, in order
to migrate from the old switch infrastructure, we tried to interconnect
them to the 5548, which is where my problem started - the link just
won't go up on the NX ...
The other side is a Nortel core switch, with 8616SXE card for fiber
links. On the Nortel, the link light goes on when I connect the
switches, but the Nexus doesn't do anything. SFPs are the same as for
the links to the 2960S, OEM/compatible 1G optics. Ports are configured
for 1G ("speed 1000"), same as for the 2960S. When I put the same SFP in
a 2960S, the link comes up at once.
What am I missing here?

Thanks, Garry
