i have set up a small lab for testing optimization of certain applications...i have connected two routers with gigabit port to be utilized as WAN connections..since gigabit port supports 1000mbps, but i want to have only 1Mbps or 2 Mbps i.e less than 1000Mbps between both routers...means i want to make LAN port as WAN port..
how to achieve this bandwidth...kindly provide the configuration to achieve this..

HI,
Gigabit capacity of "1000mbps" is just the speed of the interface.
This "1000mbps" is not related to the Bandwidth incoming / outgoing.
Do provide more details on the same.
Pls Rate if HELPS

u may change the bandwidth parameter on the interface by getting in to interface config mode & giving the command "bandwidth xyz" in kbps.
Pls note that the bandwidth command is used for metric calculations only, it doesnt change the interface performance.
Another alternative is, since u r plannig to simulate WAN on router interfaces. Simply vary the metric of interface to the respective routing protocol used, instead of varying BW.

If you want to restrict the fastethernet speed to say one or 2 mbps for your simulation, i would suggest you configure Policing or shaping
policy-map wan-restrict-out
class class-default
police CIR 200000 conform-action-transmit exceed-action -drop
interface fastether 0/1
service-policy output wan-restrict-out
configure this on both the sides and you should be good to go
