Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use
ethernet lmi global
command to enable E-LMI globally. Use
ethernet lmi ce
command to enable
the switch as E-LMI CE device.
Ethernet LMI is disabled by default on an interface and must be explicitly enabled by entering the
ethernet lmi interface
interface configuration command. The
ethernet lmi global
command enables
Ethernet LMI in PE mode on all interfaces for an entire device. The benefit of this command is that you
can enable Ethernet LMI on all interfaces with one command instead of enabling Ethernet LMI
separately on each interface. To enable the interface in CE mode, you must also enter the
ethernet lmi
ce
global configuration command.
To disable Ethernet LMI on a specific interface after you have entered the
ethernet lmi global
command,
enter the
no ethernet lmi
interface
interface configuration command.
The sequence in which you enter the
ethernet lmi interface
interface configuration and
ethernet lmi
global
global configuration commands is important. The latest command entered overrides the prior
command entered.

ethernet lmi
interface configuration command, see the
