Release Information

Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.

Support for the realm statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.2.

Support for the realm statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.2 for EX Series switches.

Description

Set the reference bandwidth used in calculating the default interface cost. The cost is calculated using the following formula:

cost = ref-bandwidth/bandwidth

Options

ref-bandwidth—Reference bandwidth, in bits per second.

Default: 100 Mbps (100,000,000 bits)

Range: 9600 through 1,000,000,000,000 bits

Note: The default behavior is to use the reference-bandwidth value to calculate the cost of OSPF interfaces. You can override this behavior for any OSPF interface by configuring a specific cost with the metric statement.
