Reo,

        The interface command "bandwidth" specifies the bandwidth value
used in routing metric and MQC available bandwidth calculation. The
"bandwidth" value under the policy-map creates a minimum bandwidth
reservation in the output queue for the specified class. The reason
that it's important to set the interface "bandwidth" command is because
the default may not reflect what is provisioned on the interface.

        For example, the default bandwidth value for a serial interface
is 1544Kbps. If then you create a policy-map with the command
"bandwidth percent 50" you are reserving 772Kbps (assuming we are
working with 12.2T). This can be seen by issuing the "show queue
interface serial0" command and looking at how the "available bandwidth"
field changes. By changing the "bandwidth" command on the interface, it
affects what this "available bandwidth" value is derived from.

        Keep in mind that the above example is on a point-to-point
serial connection that is not running Frame Relay encapsulation. For
Frame Relay MQC applications there are more factors that come into play,
such as legacy or MQC FRTS.
