Testing physical network connection

How do you test the physical network connection of an interface in solaris. I know that if you have an active connection and the cable gets yanked, you can look in the messages file to check for link failure messages. But is there any better way to see if you have good layer 2 connectivity?

hostconfig

hostconfig(1M)						  System Administration Commands					    hostconfig(1M)

NAME

       hostconfig - configure a system's host parameters

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/hostconfig -p protocol [-d] [ -h] [-n] [-v]
	    [-i interface] [-f hostname]

DESCRIPTION

       The  hostconfig program uses a network protocol to acquire a machine's host parameters and set these parameters on the system.

       The program selects which protocol to use based on the argument to the required	-p flag. Different protocols may set different host param-
       eters. Currently, only one protocol (bootparams) is defined.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -d	       Enable debug output.

       -f hostname     Run the protocol as if this machine were named hostname.

       -h	       Echo the received hostname to stdout, rather than setting hostname using the system name directly.

       -i interface    Use only the named network interface to run the protocol.

       -n	       Run the network protocol, but do not set the acquired parameters into the  system.

       -p protocol     Run hostconfig using protocol. Currently, only one protocol (bootparams) is available. This option is required.

		       Specifying the -p bootparams option uses the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol. This sets the system's	 hostname,
		       domainname, and default IP router parameters.

       -v	       Enable verbose output.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Configuring Host Parameters with Verbose Output

       The following command configures a machine's host parameters using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol with a verbose output.

	 example# hostconfig -p bootparams -v

       Example 2 Displaying Host Parameters

       The following command displays the parameters that would be set using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol.

	 example# hostconfig -p bootparams -n -v

       Example 3 Configuring Host Parameters Less the System Name

       The following command configures a machine's host parameters, less the system name, using  the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol.

	 example# hostconfig='hostconfig -p bootparams -h'
