auto-cost

Configures the reference bandwidth in terms of megabits per second. Specifying the reference bandwidth allows you to control the default metrics for an interface, which is calculated by OSPF.

The formula used to calculate default metrics is: ref-bw divided by the bandwidth.

Use the no → auto-cost → reference-bandwidth command to configure default metrics calculation based on interface type.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP 7161, AP 7502, AP-7522, AP 7532, AP 7562, AP 7602, AP 7622, AP-8163, AP-8432, AP-8533
  • Wireless Controllers — RFS 4000

auto-cost reference-bandwidth <1-4294967>

Parameters

auto-cost reference-bandwidth <1-4294967>

reference-bandwidth <1-4294967>

Defines the reference bandwidth in Mbps

  • <1-4294967> – Specify the reference bandwidth value from 1 - 4294967.

Examples
