Re: Cat 3550 auto-cost ref-bw Problem

Since the vlan is attached to FE interface, therefore the bandwidth should be same as FE in order to reflect the real cost of FE. Back to my previous question, does it necessary to change the Vlan interface bandwidth to 100000 if the question doesn't mention? If not, ospf cost of this interface doesn't reflect FE. Any comment?

bandwidth by the interface bandwidth.

Why would you want the VLAN to be the same bandwidth
as FE. What is wrong with a bandwidth of 1G? An
up/up gigabit port on a 3550 will show a b/w of 1G.

Sincerely,
Marvin Greenlee
