1170 OSPF CommandsbandwidthBy default, OSPF computes the link cost of an interface as the ratio of thereference bandwidth to the interface bandwidth. Reference bandwidth isspecified with the auto-cost command. For the purpose of the OSPF link costcalculation, the bandwidth command specifies the interface bandwidth. Thebandwidth is specified in kilobits per second. If no bandwidth is configured,the bandwidth defaults to the actual interface bandwidth for port-basedrouting interfaces and to 10 Mbps for VLAN routing interfaces. Thiscommand does not affect the actual speed of an interface.Syntaxbandwidthbw•bw — Interface bandwidth in Kbps (Range: 1–10000000).Default ConfigurationThe default reference bandwidth is 10 MbpsCommand ModeInterface Configuration (VLAN) mode.User GuidelinesThere are no user guidelines for this command.ExampleThe following example configures the interface bandwidth to 500000 Kbps.console(config-if-vlan1)#bandwidth 500000capability opaqueUse the capability opaque command to enable Opaque Capability on therouter. Use the “no” form of this command to disable Opaque Capability.Syntaxcapability opaque
