Sun Fire T2000 servers was using only 2 interfaces (e1000g0 & e1000g1)
trunkated, so the setup was not using a dedicated net for sunrays.  It was a
subnet deployment.

It is absolutely true.  I don't know about other switches, but with Cisco
ones, I clearly saw the difference: when forcing ports on the switch, problems
start to arise.  Again, this is ONLY true for DTUs, not for server side. 
Especially with Cisco switches, the best I know is to force at both ends, so
switch ports & server ports should be forced both for speed & duplex settings.
 But since DTUs are made for autonegociation, leave the switch ports in this 
mode.
