Your port is down.  The interface, the cable or the other side is 
broken.  Test with different patch cables, a different port on this SI 
and different equipment on the other side, e.g. a laptop.

And this:
>  Member of L2 VLAN ID 1, port is untagged, port state is BLOCKING

is because the port is enabled but down, not due to your configuration.

Is the FESX side set for autonegotiation?  Unless you used a crossover 
cable you need auto-MDI/MDIX.
