OSPF Commands

There are no user guidelines for this command.

The following example configures a reference bandwidth of 500 Mbps.
console(config-router)#auto-cost reference-bandwidth 500

By default, OSPF computes the link cost of an interface as the ratio of the 

reference bandwidth to the interface bandwidth. Reference bandwidth is 

specified with the auto-cost command. For the purpose of the OSPF link cost 

calculation, the bandwidth command specifies the interface bandwidth. The 

bandwidth is specified in kilobits per second. If no bandwidth is configured, 

the bandwidth defaults to the actual interface bandwidth for port-based 

routing interfaces and to 10 Mbps for VLAN routing interfaces. This 

command does not affect the actual speed of an interface.

bw — Interface bandwidth in Kbps (Range: 1–10000000).

The default reference bandwidth is 10 Mbps

Interface Configuration (VLAN) mode.

There are no user guidelines for this command.

The following example configures the interface bandwidth to 500000 Kbps.
