O CONTROL DEFAULT METRICS
By default, OSPF calculates the OSPF metric for an interface according to the
bandwidth of the interface.
The OSPF metric is calculated as the reference bandwidth value divided by the
bandwidth value, with the reference bandwidth value equal to 10
8
by default, and
the bandwidth value determined by the bandwidth interface configuration
command. If you have multiple links with high bandwidth, you might want to
specify a larger number to differentiate the cost on those links. To do so, enter the
following command:
E
XAMPLE
ALU(config-router ospf 1)# auto-cost reference-bandwidth 100
Command (in RCM) Description
auto-cost [reference-bandwidth
<1-4294967>]
This command is used to calculate the
interface cost based on the reference
bandwidth.
Default value for reference bandwidth is
100.
The OSPF metric is calculated as the
reference bandwidth value divided by the
bandwidth, with reference bandwidth
equal to 10
8
by default.
