ProSafe Managed Switch auto-cost (OSPF) By default, OSPF computes the link cost of each interface from the interface bandwidth. Faster links have lower metrics, making them more attractive in route selection. The configuration parameters in the auto-cost reference bandwidth and bandwidth commands give you control over the default link cost. You can configure for OSPF an interface bandwidth that is independent of the actual link speed. A second configuration parameter allows you to control the ratio of interface bandwidth to link cost. The link cost is computed as the ratio of a reference bandwidth to the interface bandwidth (ref_bw / interface bandwidth), where interface 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. Use the auto-cost command to change the reference bandwidth, specifying the reference bandwidth in megabits per second (Mbps). The reference bandwidth range is 1-4294967 Mbps. The different reference bandwidth can be independently configured for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. Default Format Mode 100Mbps auto-cost reference-bandwidth Router OSPF Config no auto-cost reference-bandwidth (OSPF) Use this command to set the reference bandwidth to the default value. Format Mode no auto-cost reference-bandwidth Router OSPF Config 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, use the bandwidth command to specify 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. Default Format Mode actual interface bandwidth bandwidth Interface Config Routing Commands 291
