Irwin, you won't be able to make this work as expected. The fiber optic
ports on a 2900 series Catalyst is only 100Mb, whereas the fiber optic ports
(GBIC) on a 3500 series is 1000Mb. The speeds just don't match up. If you
want to connect these together, just get a 100Mb media convertor and convert
the fiber to twisted pair.
You can connect 2900 to 2900 and 3500 to 3500 via fiber, but you cannot mix
them unless you use the RJ-45 ports on one or both.
