Question : Problem: Using Cisco 3560\3750 SFP port for Tape Library

I am going to be setting up a tape library. I am told with the library that I'm getting that there are two ways to set it up,

[svrs to be backed up]----->thru the lan---->[backup svr]--->SCSI--->[tape library]

or

[fiber nic]------>[fiber bridge]------>[tape library]

My question is, can I use a cisco switch (3560\3750) and plug the tape library in one of the spf ports on it?

I want to buy the switch to act as the 'fiber bridge' and since it's a gb switch and all the servers have gb nics, i just want them to have a gb connection to the tape library which itself is connected by fiber.

Also, in buying the switch, it says the SFP ports are empty, do I need to purchase a specific gbic or fiber module to plug into the spf port? And i'm assuming this module will depend what type of fiber connection is coming off the tape library, would that be correct? like SC to LC or someting another

that is b/c work and college have  printers that are directly connected to the PC and these printers show up in all profiles.  Home doesn't have a directly connected printer, it has a TCP/IP printer, which doesn't show up in all profiles.  So you have two options.

1. setup  the printer again while you are logged in with the profile that it isn't showing up as, just as you did the first time
2.  add the tcp/ip printer to the default profile, so it will show up for whoever logs into the computer for the first time when their profile is created from the default profile template.

solution 2 requires more work and you will have to remove the profile in question, and have it re-created from the default user template.
