You'll need to set up a trunk. I'm not sure if you can trunk any number of interfaces, but you can research that. There are some conventions and guidelines regarding setting up trunks on Solaris that you can get from sun.com. Also, you network people will need to setup a channel on the switches that aggregates the two ports (please do not confuse that with the Solaris trunk, which in Cisco lingo refers to something different). So, trunk in Solaris; channel in Cisco. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
