Configuring IS-IS link cost
The IS-IS cost of an interface is determined in the following order:
1. IS-IS cost specified in interface view.
2. IS-IS cost specified in system view.
The cost is applied to the interfaces associated with the IS-IS process.
3. Automatically calculated cost.
If the cost style is wide or wide-compatible, IS-IS automatically calculates the cost using the formula:
Interface cost = (Bandwidth reference value / Expected interface bandwidth) × 10, in the range of
1 to 16777214. For other cost styles, Table 7 applies.
Configure the expected bandwidth of an interface with the bandwidth command. For more
information, see Interface Command Reference.

4. If none of the above costs is used, a default cost of 10 applies.
