bandwidth (interface)
To set the inherited and received bandwidth values for an interface, use the bandwidth command. To
restore the default values, use the no form of this command.
bandwidth {kbps | inherit [kbps]}
no bandwidth {kbps | inherit [kbps]}
Syntax Description
Command Default 1000000 kbps
Command Modes Interface configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines The bandwidth command sets an informational parameter to communicate only the current bandwidth
to the higher-level protocols; you cannot adjust the actual bandwidth of an interface using this command.
The bandwidth inherit command controls how a subinterface inherits the bandwidth of its main
interface.
The no bandwidth inherit command enables all subinterfaces to inherit the default bandwidth of the
main interface, regardless of the configured bandwidth. If a bandwidth is not configured on a
subinterface, and you use the bandwidth inherit command, all subinterfaces will inherit the current
bandwidth of the main interface. If you configure a new bandwidth on the main interface, all
subinterfaces will use this new value.
If you do not configure a bandwidth on the subinterface and you configure the bandwidth inherit
command on the main interface, the subinterfaces will inherit the specified bandwidth.
In all cases, if an interface has an explicit bandwidth setting configured, then that interface will use that
setting, regardless of whether the bandwidth inheritance setting is in effect.
Examples This example shows how to configure all subinterfaces off this main interface to inherit the configured
bandwidth:
switch(config-if)# bandwidth inherit 30000
kbps Informational bandwidth in kilobits per second. Valid values are from 1 to
10000000.
inherit (Optional) Specifies the bandwidth inherited from the main interface.
