Layer 3 Routing Commands

bandwidth is defined by the “bandwidth” command. Because the default
reference bandwidth is 100 Mbps, OSPF uses the same default link cost for all
interfaces whose bandwidth is 100 Mbps or greater. To change the reference
bandwidth, use the auto-cost command, specifying the reference bandwidth
in megabits per second. The different reference bandwidth can be
independently configured for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.
Syntax
auto-cost reference-bandwidth ref_bw
• ref_bw — The reference bandwidth in Mbps (Range: 1–4294967).
Default Configuration
The default reference bandwidth is 100 Mbps.
Command Mode
OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 Router Configuration mode.
User Guidelines
There are no user guidelines for this command.
Example
The following example configures a reference bandwidth of 500 Mbps.
console(config-router)#auto-cost reference-bandwidth 500
bandwidth
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.
