'''Local Management Interface (LMI)''' is a term for some signaling standardstandards used in networks, namely [[Frame Relay]] and [[Carrier Ethernet]].

== Frame Relay ==
LMI is a set of signalling standards between [[Router (computing)|router]]s and [[frameFrame relay]]Relay switches. Communication takes place between a router and the first frameFrame relayRelay switch to which it's connectedis toconnected. Information about [[keepalive]]s, global addressing, [[IP Multicastmulticast]] and the status of [[virtual circuits]] is commonly exchanged using LMI.

There are three standards for LMI:

== Carrier Ethernet ==

Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI) is an Ethernet layer operation, administration, and management (OAM) protocol defined by the [[Metro Ethernet Forum]] (MEF) for Carrier Ethernet networks. It provides information that enables auto configuration of customer edge (CE) devices.
