For some context, this is all multimode fiber media, GBIC’s and SFP’s. I am trying to uplink from a Baystack 470 fiber port to a 5510 fiber SFP. I get link light on both sides but only the 470 shows activity light, 5510 does not. I have tried multiple GBICS on 470 and multiple SFP’s on the 5510 side. Also, I uplinked the 5510 to an 8600 8608SXE SC fiber port and both sides show link and activity. I have also tried multiple 470’s and 5510’s and never can get the 5510 fiber port to have both link and activity light on when fed by a 470. Am I missing something?
 
Try adjusting your autonegotiation setting on the ports..make sure duplex matches.

that was exactly it. I figured it our yesterday. the 470 defaults to Autoneg. on, the 5510 defaults to off....
