6.3.2.60. bandwidth
By default, OSPF computes the link cost of an interface as the ratio of the reference bandwidth to the interface
bandwidth. Reference bandwidth is specified with the auto-cost command. For the purpose of the OSPF link
cost calculation, use the bandwidth command to specify the interface bandwidth. The bandwidth is specified in
kilobits per second. If no bandwidth is configured, the bandwidth defaults to the actual interface bandwidth for
port-based routing interfaces and to 10 Mbps for VLAN routing interfaces. This command does not affect the
actual speed of an interface. You can use this command to configure a single interface or a range of interfaces.

Specify that an OSPF helper exits helper mode whenever a topology change

option is not set.
