DGS-6604 ip ospf cost ip ospf cost Use this command to explicitly specify the cost of sending a packet on an interface. Use the no form of the command to remove the assignment. ip ospf cost COST no ip ospf cost Syntax Description COST Specifies the value of the link-state metric. The range is 1 to 65535. Default Command Mode Usage Guideline Example Cost is not configured Interface configuration The interface cost indicates the overhead required to send packets across a certain interface. This cost is advertised as the link cost in the router link advertisement. The cost is inversely proportional to the bandwidth of an interface. The cost can be either manually assigned or be automatically determined. By default, the cost of an interface is calculated based on the bandwidth (10E8 / bandwidth); use the ip ospf cost command to set the cost manually. If the cost is explicitly assigned, the assigned cost will override the autodetermined cost. Otherwise, the auto-determined cost will be adopted. The following example shows sets the interface cost value to 10 on interface VLAN 1. Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# interface vlan1 Switch(config-if)# ip ospf cost 10 Verify the settings by entering the show ip ospf interface command. CLI Reference Guide 278
