I installed Solaris 10 on my netra machine

from dladm show-dev I can see which interface are down or up

all interfaces are connected to the Cisco switch , and all leds are light's on all LAN cards

but I not understand why all interfaces except e1000g0 are in unknown ?

Please advice how to bring the unknown interfaces to up ?

  # dladm show-dev
  e1000g0         link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full
  e1000g1         link: unknown   speed: 0     Mbps       duplex: unknown
