Are you connecting the fiber modem right into the switch or is there a router between the two? It sounds like it is making a link when you have it connected, but have you tried any of the other combo ports or a different SFP transceiver?
The connection I am getting is from a cisco ASR series router. I have tried other combo ports and I also tried cisco SFPs but I don't think they are supported.
I was working off the status lights for the ports which are not coming on. I can try and set an IP. I wanted to do a Layer2 connection between the fiber uplink from the ASR to a Cat5 connection to my router. Basically, I wanted to use it as a media converter.

If you give the ports IP addresses can they ping each other?
