if this is a counterfeit transceiver they sure did a good job faking it since the packaging even had the HP seals on it.
I think I found the guide you mentioned and if I'm reading it right it looks like this particular switch only supports SFP+ which means this is going to be much more difficult to use the way I wanted to use it.

Hi, check first if your J9265A is currently running the latest available software released for that switch series (K.15.18.0024) and then perform a show tech transceivers to see how/if it is capable of recognizing it correctly (it should).
We're implying that the particular SFP 1G LC Short Range Transceiver you're using is truly HP genuine.
For documentation/software please check asp.arubanetworks.com and support.hpe.com websites.
For checking supported Transceivers have a look at Aruba Transceivers and DACs guide (currently at its 11th edition).

I recently acquired a 6600ml-24XG (J9265A) and am trying to connect it to my network.
I checked the compatibility here
Document - HPE 6600 Switch Series - Option Parts | HPE Support
and purchased a HP X121 1G SFP LC SX Transceiver J4858C
Upon pluging it into the switch I am getting "Transceiver type not % supported in this port" The transceiver is in the supported list so I'm not sure what i'm missing. Anyone have any Ideas or documentation they can point me to?
