'''Local Management Interface (LMI)''' is a term for some signaling standards used in networks, namely [[frame relay]] and [[Carrier Ethernet]].
== Frame Relay ==
LMI is a set of signalling standards between [[Router (computing)|router]]s and frame relay switches. Communication takes place between a router and the first frame relay switch it's connected to. Information about [[keepalive]]s, global addressing, [[IP Multicast]] and the status of [[virtual circuits]] is commonly exchanged using 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.
