I recently purchased a CRS310-8G+2S+IN and wanted to connect it to a RB260GSP I already own through the SFP interface but can't find a way to do that. I tried some SFPs I have with some LC-LC cables and also two XS+DA0003 direct pigtails to no avail, everything is correctly detected by the two switches, but the link stays down. They do work as expected if I connect them through a traditional Ethernet cable, but using the SFP port would allow me to spare a valuable port per switch. This is my 1st experiment with optic links and SFPs in general so I could very much have missed something, but have no idea of where the problem could be.
Thanks in advance for any help.
