Local Management Interface
Set
of enhancements to the basic Frame Relay specification. LMI includes support
for a keepalive mechanism, which verifies that data is flowing; a multicast
mechanism, which provides the network server with its local DLCI and the
multicast DLCI; global addressing, which gives DLCIs global rather than local
significance in Frame Relay networks; and a status mechanism, which provides an
on-going status report on the DLCIs known to the switch. Known as LMT in
ANSI terminology.
