i would try this:

remove all interfaces from the config file which are ok in speed and duplex setting (bge0, 2 and 3). make the following entry to the file:

Code:
# interface bge1
name="bge" parent="/pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0" unit-address="4,1" \
adv_autoneg_cap=0 adv_1000fdx_cap=1 adv_1000hdx_cap=0 \
adv_100fdx_cap=0 adv_100hdx_cap=0 adv_100T4_cap=0 adv_10fdx_cap=0 \
adv_10hdx_cap=0;

after the changes do a:

Code:
# svcadm restart network/physical

or
Code:
# init 6

Once this change is made and the interfaces are restarted the dladm show-dev returns the following:

Code:
bge0            link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
bge1            link: down      speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: unknown
bge2            link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
bge3            link: unknown   speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: unknown
nxge0           link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
nxge1           link: up        speed: 100   Mbps       duplex: full
nxge2           link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
nxge3           link: unknown   speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full

are the old entries still inside the file?

adv_100fdx_cap=0 adv_100hdx_cap=0 adv_100T4_cap=0 adv_10fdx_cap=0 \
adv_10hdx_cap=0;

if this doesn't work, the "parent" settings are maybe in a wrong format...

edit:
one other idea. delete the "backslash" and try to use one long line...

edit2:
also if the switch is on 100hdx setting without autoneg, your settings won't work and the port goes down... maybe you should have a drink with one of the network guys Smilie.

Sorry missed that, I'm pretty sure its option 3 on your list. Unfortunately I don't have access to the switch... I'll see if I can pin down one of the network guys. Thanks for all the help btw Smilie
