Thx. I see now. The reason why my lab book wanted me to use 20000 was
because they where looking for a specific cost on the interfaces.

Hi Robert,
by default auto-cost reference-bandwidth for OSPF is 100. This means a link
with 100 Mbps bandwidth will have a cost of 1.
Now if we want a gig link to have a cost of 1, the auto-cost
reference-bandwidth is 1000
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios124/124cr/hirp_r
/rte_osph.htm#wp1089647
you can test it , bt specifying different bandwidth values on an interface
and making corresponding changes to auto-cost.
So the easy way to calculate is ..it is the value in MB which should have a
cost of 1, so if u want a 10gig link to have a cost of 1, auto-cost
reference-bandwidth is 10000.
Hope it helps

So I take it that the options for MBITS (20000) used with command is
irrelevant. R4(config-router)#Auto-cost REference-bandwidth 20000.
Thx.

There is no method...it's a design decision. The router uses this value to
calculate the interface cost as opposed to the default.
In a production network all routers should be configured with the command,
in the ccie lab who knows...-)

I understand that the auto-cost refernce-bandwidth command is used for
interface that are greater than 100 mbs so that you can have the correct
cost associated with that interface. My question is what method is used to
come up with the MBITS per second when using the auto-cost reference
bandwidth command.
R4(config-router)#AUto-cost REference-bandwidth ?
<1-4294967> The reference bandwidth in terms of Mbits per second
Thx in advance.
