Cannot Commit when Interfaces are Set to 1000/full

Issue

PAN-OS devices will not commit configurations that hard code interfaces to full duplex when speed is set to 1000.  The commit will fail with the following error:

Cause

• The commit fails because the Gigabit Ethernet specification requires auto-negotiation. Explicitly specifying 1000/full is technically an invalid configuration.
• In previous versions of PAN-OS, the device accepts 1000/full during validation and will commit 1000/auto even if full duplex is specified.

Resolution

Set interfaces to "auto" for Speed and Duplex.
