Ensure that the port on the switch is configured to and capable of running 1000/full. Also make sure your adapter is capable and then renegotiate. I do not believe you can do this on the fly on solaris, so it's a reboot or a cable pull.

NAME
rge - Realtek Gigabit/Fast Ethernet Network Adapter driver
SYNOPSIS
/dev/rge
DESCRIPTION
The rge Gigabit/Fast Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable, clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link
Provider Interface, dlpi(7P), on the Realtek Gigabit/Fast Ethernet Network Adapter.
The rge driver functions includes controller initialization, frame transmit and receive, promiscuous and multicast support, and error
recovery and reporting.
APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
The cloning, character-special device /dev/rge is used to access all Realtek Gigabit/Fast Ethernet devices installed within the system.
The rge driver is managed by the dladm(1M) command line utility, which allows VLANs to be defined on top of rge instances and for rge
instances to be aggregated. See dladm(1M) for more details.
The values returned by the driver in the DL_INFO_ACK primitive in response to the DL_INFO_REQ are as follows:
o Maximum SDU (with jumbo frame) is 7000.
o Minimum SDU is 0.
o DSLAP address length is 8 bytes.
o MAC type is DL_ETHER.
o SAP length value is -2, meaning the physical address component is followed immediately by a 2-byte sap component within the
DLSAP address.
o Broadcast address value is Ethernet/IEEE broadcast address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF).
Once in the DL_ATTACHED state, you must send a DL_BIND_REQ to associate a particular Service Access Point (SAP) with the stream.
CONFIGURATION
By default, the rge driver performs auto-negotiation to select the link speed and mode. Link speed and mode can be any one of the follow-
ing:
o 1000 Mbps, full-duplex
o 100 Mbps, full-duplex
o 100 Mbps, half-duplex
o 10 Mbps, full-duplex
o 10 Mbps, half-duplex
Alternatively, you can set the capabilities advertised by the rge device using ndd(1M). The driver supports a number of parameters whose
names begin with adv_. Each of these parameters contains a boolean value that determines if the device advertises that mode of operation.
The adv_pause_cap indicates if half/full duplex pause is advertised to link partner. You can set adv_asym_pause_cap to advertise to the
link partner that asymmetric pause is desired.
For example, to prevent the device 'rge2' from advertising gigabit capabilities, enter (as super-user):
# ndd -set /dev/rge2 adv_1000fdx_cap 0
All capabilities default to enabled. Note that changing any capability parameter causes the link to go down while the link partners renego-
tiate the link speed/duplex using the newly changed capabilities.
You can find the current parameter settings by using ndd -get. In addition, the driver exports the current state, speed, duplex setting,
and working mode of the link via ndd parameters (these are read only and may not be changed). For example, to check link state of device
rge0:
# ndd -get /dev/rge0 link_status
1
# ndd -get /dev/rge0 link_speed
100
# ndd -get /dev/rge0 link_duplex
2
The output above indicates that the link is up and running at 100Mbps full-duplex. In addition, the driver exports its working mode by
loop_mode. If it is set to 0, the loopback mode is disabled.
