Hi, from what i understand is the 'bandwidth' command would not affect the actual link. Basically. the 'bandwidth' command is an informational command for each of the interfaces. If you don't put in 'bandwidth', you wouldn't able to get the accurate load statistic of the interface. For example, for the serial interface, the default bandwidth is T1 (1.544Mbps), if the actual link is 64Kbps and you configured the serial interface without 'bandwidth' command, sure you get 1/255 load on the interface all the time, eventhough the link is very congest. Another functionality of 'bandwidth' command is you can use this command to choose the prefer route that you want if you have multiple path to the same destination. Some dynamic routing protocol is using 'bandwidth' as the metric, like EIGRP, OSPF, etc. Sorry for my bad english. Hope it can help you out. regard, lee "Olden Pieterse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Hi there > > Ive seen some of my fellow engineers put : bandwidth 8 : statement in a > config on a 64k isdn line we used for dial on demand . > As far as I know you put the bandwidth equal to the size of your line (56 or > 64 etc) . > What does this imply ?
