bandwidth (Interface)

Sets and communicates bandwidth value for an interface to higher-level protocols such as OSPFv2 and OSPFv3, so this setting can be used to influence the routing cost for routes learned on these interfaces.
Syntax
bandwidth { kilobits }
no bandwidth { kilobits }
Command Default

For physical ports, the port speed is the default bandwidth. For VE interfaces and Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs), the sum of port speeds of individual physical ports is the default bandwidth.

Parameters
kilobits

Intended bandwidth, in kilobits per second. There is no default value for this parameter. The range is from 1 to 1000000000 kbps (100 Gbps).

Modes

Interface configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

This command is supported on all RUCKUS FastIron platforms.

You cannot adjust the actual bandwidth of an interface with this command. When you configure the interface bandwidth for virtual Ethernet that is associated with multiple physical interfaces, OSPF does not adjust its metric cost if one of those associated interfaces is down, and does not generate network and router link state advertisement.

The no form of the command removes the bandwidth value.

Examples

The following example sets the bandwidth to 2000 kbps on a specific Ethernet interface. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# bandwidth 2000

The following example sets the bandwidth to 2000 kbps on a specific virtual Ethernet (VE) interface. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# vlan 10
device(config-vlan-10)# interface ve 10
device(config-vif-10)# bandwidth 2000

The following example sets the bandwidth to 2000 kbps on a specific tunnel interface. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface tunnel 2
device(config-tnif-2)# bandwidth 2000
