Frame Relay Local Management Interface
The Frame Relay Local Management Interface (LMI) is a mechanism that two separate frame relay systems can
use to communicate the status of the interface. The LMI interface allows dynamic updates on the status of the
DLCI connections and the congestion state of the network. The Black Box implements all three versions of
LMI available within the frame relay network. These are defined in
table 4 :
