How on earth could a router in 2026 not support 1G auto-neg? How could it even get past the engineering phase?

Juniper states this is a hardware limitation with the Broadcom chip, so no reason for hoping for a software upgrade to fix this mess.

We are now stuck with 40 ACX7024 routers in our MPLS network not being able to get get link up towards factory default SRX'es, which should be handled by ZTP.

Juniper as of now is a perfect example of Stockholm syndrome. *Sigh*
