I'm not following you Nadeem. From what I remember, OSPF calculates cost using the formula (Reference Bandwidth / Configured Bandwidth). Metric would be the cumulative cost.

Friends,

They key to this confision is that how OSPF calculate metric when we configure auto-cost reference bandwith, As i had observed that it increases the cost for a 128 Kbps Link from 781 to 7812 as compare to its default behavior, and some how I am not able to find out that what formulae it uses after auto-cost reference bandwith command

Strange that it is exactly 10 higher than the largest 16 bit number. Did you try clearing the OSPF process?

Hi Experts,

I have 3 routers 10.1.1.1 ----A--------B---------- C-10.3.3.3, am running
ospf on it,they all r connected through gigabit interface, i have configured
auto-cost reference bandwith 10000
MBps 10.3.3.2

Because in future i will installed 10gig . Definately the cost is 10 as the
interface is gigabit.But when i c in the sh ip route the metric for network
10.1.1.1 is 65545,from where

did it came can anybody help me.It is irritating me,

when i c sh ip os interfce the cost what i c is 10 on all routers but when
i c sh ip route the metric for network 10.1.1.1 is 110/65545

the metric should be 20 ,the distance from A to B and from B to C????
correct me if am wrong.

this problem is strange for me.

Awaiting for ur reply friends
