Enabling LMI

You can specify whether the PortMaster accepts Local Management Interface (LMI)
frames from the attached Frame Relay switch. If LMI is enabled on the switch, you must
enable LMI on the PortMaster. The default keepalive value is 10 seconds. However, if
your telephone company chooses another keepalive value, change this value as they
instruct you. Enabling LMI causes the DLCI list to be completed automatically. If the
attached switch uses an interval keepalive timer different from the Frame Relay default,
be sure the keepalive timer on the PortMaster matches that of the attached switch.
