Change default interface to routed interface
By default the PA5050 comes pre-configured with virtual-wire pair on ethernet1/1 and ethernet1/2, I would want to change to layer3 instead, layer3 interface is known as routed port.

Reconfiguration
Supposed you have misconfigured an uncommitted configuration, you cannot simply use the set
command and think the configuration will replaced the previous uncommitted configuration. You will have to delete the previously uncommitted configuration first.
The below example demonstrated this, I purposefully configured an IP address that was conflicting with the management interface IP address. However I could not change the configuration simply by using set
command.
admin@PA-5050# set interface ethernet ethernet1/2 layer3 ip 192.168.1.1/24 [edit network] admin@PA-5050# commit . Management IP 192.168.1.1 is conflict with regular interface IP address. Configuration is invalid [edit network] admin@PA-5050# set interface ethernet ethernet1/2 layer3 ip 192.168.0.1/24 admin@PA-5050# commit . Management IP 192.168.1.1 is conflict with regular interface IP address. Configuration is invalid
I would first need to delete the previous configuration then set the correct configuration.
