Hm, looks ok so far. Can you ping yourself on the
interface IP ?
The usual stuff is to check /etc/hostname.aggr1,
/etc/hosts (should be a link to /etc/inet/hosts)
should contain the IP adress and name of the host
on that interface (it seems it does not, since your
routing table shows only the IP, not the name),
/etc/defaultrouter must have your gateway, /etc/nsswitch.conf
should have 'files' as first entry for hosts and ipnodes,
/etc/netmasks should have a class C broadcast entry for
your network, nwam should be really off, /etc/resolv.conf
should have domain, nameserver, search entries, IP forwarding/
routing service off, mtu should be 1500 (if you don't have
everything on 9000). MAC address should be nonzero, I've
a workstation at home where the netcard looses its mac address
everytime I unplug it from power...

Sometimes a simple reboot helps after heavy configuration
changes, I've also seen Cisco switches where you sometimes
have to reconfigure the ports a second time with the exactly
same configuration to get them active (and it often takes
some time until they come up), unplug/replug could help.
