Video Description
bandwidth
ip ospf cost
auto-cost reference-bandwidth [REFERENCE-MB]
By default, the reference bandwidth is 100 Mb. Meaning that a link with a speed of 100 Mb will have a cost of 1.
Reference = cost * bandwidth
For example, if we want that a FastEthernet interface has a cost of 70:
Reference = 70 * 100.000.000
Reference = 7.000.000.000
The configuration of the auto-cost command should be:
auto-cost reference-bandwidth 7000
We need to be careful and ensure no link will end up with a max metric (65535)
It's recommended that all of the routers use the same reference value
