Bandwidth value on Cisco 3850 Gigabit interface

[sreeraj.murali]

Hi Experts,

I have a Gigabit Interface on Cisco 3850 switch connected to the MPLS Router Gigabit interface which is of Cisco 1900 series. I need help is setting the bandwidth value on the switch interface.

I am seeing the below result, when trying to configure manually, instead of leaving as AUTO negotiated.

IN-BG_NEW-00-ETHER-0(config-if)#bandwidth ?
  <1-10000000>  Bandwidth in kilobits
  inherit       Specify how bandwidth is inherited

Please suggest the recommended value for the bandwidth settings for the Gigabit interface, which is getting connected to Gigabit interface of Cisco Router.

Thanks

Hi

I usually configure bandwidth command on routers but should same on switches

interface g1/0/1

no switchport   <--- To make the port L3 and be able to use IP addresses 

bandwidth 1000000

1,000,000 = 1 Gigabit.

But you could not need this change, check first the current bandwidth through the following command:

show interface g1/0/1

and you will se the current bandwidth. 

Hope it is useful
