serial interface available bandwidth

[tato386]

I have several T1 WICs that are connected to full T1 and I am using the bandwidth 1536 startment in their configs. However, if I do a sho int s0/0 there is a line that says "available bandwidth 1152b/s". Why the descrepancy?

Thanks,

Diego

That "bandwidth .." command will be used to communicate only the current bandwidth to the higher-level protocols for exa to menipulate routing decision etc..

you cannot adjust the actual bandwidth of an interface with this command.

Pl. visit following url for more on that

So if the bandwidth command is irrelevant, what does the 1152k/s mean? Are all those ISPs short-changing me a few hundred kbits?

Are you sure that you have a full T1? 1152K adds up to 18 timeslots. What IOS are you running?
