Rajesh, Correct... The bandwidth statement has no impact on other routing protocols, like OSPF. OSPF looks at the "cost" of a link in determining best path. There's no direct correllation between "bandwidth" and "cost."
As for what to set "bandwidth" to, you set it on both ends of a connection based on the lower speed. As an example, if you had two routers connected via frame-relay, one of which utilized a T-1, and the other utilizing a 256k Fractional T-1, you should set the bandwidth to 256kbps. Most likely, you'd be terminating each PVC to it's own Serial sub-interface, so on the sub-interface, you'd set the bandwidth value to 256kbps (You may also consider basing the bandwidth assignment on CIR (Committed Information Rate), rather than the actual port speed). If, on the other hand, you were running OSPF, you'd simply adjust the ospf cost on each sub-interface.
