If the management interface cannot cleanly handle the handshake payload length from certificates.paloaltonetworks.com , it may drop packets. Lowering the Management Interface MTU size below the standard 1500-byte default (e.g., setting it down to ) has been proven to resolve transport-layer connection timeouts: Exit configuration mode and manually try to retrieve

Some administrators have resolved persistent mismatches by forcing a configuration reload:
Palo Alto hardware firewalls use an onboard hardware TPM chip to uniquely secure and authenticate the appliance identity. When requesting a device certificate, the firewall submits its unique TPM public key to Palo Alto’s cloud servers. The cloud matches this request against its manufacturing registration database. The validation fails due to three main issues:
