Your assumption is correct: the "bandwidth" parameter has no bearing on the
actual speed of the line. If your provider is giving you 256k, then you'll
run at 256k. However, the router will *assume* that you're running at T1
speed by default, and will use that bandwidth (1.544mbps) in its (E)IGRP
metric calculation. To show how this works, don't set your bandwidth
parameter, and look at your metrics. Then change your bandwidth to 256k,
and your metrics will jump astronomically.

Hi all,
I am reading for the CIT exam and I saw something in the book
that seems alittle bit strange:
It says that in the sh int serial 2/3 command the bandwidth =
parameter is
used to compute IGRP metrics only.
Does this means that we don't care (if we don't play with IGRP) what is =
the speed=20
of the connected line? Lets say that if we have an E1 line and the BW is =
256kbps,
the interface will play on 2048kbps ?
I think that it will play on 256kbps.
I am a little bit comfused.
Any help?
