40.Os
41.Sh NAME
42.Nm ng_lmi
43.Nd frame relay LMI protocol netgraph node type
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.In sys/types.h
46.In netgraph/ng_lmi.h
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm lmi
50node type performs the frame relay LMI protocol.
51It supports
52the ITU Annex A, ANSI Annex D, and Group-of-four LMI types.
53It also supports auto-detection of the LMI type.
54.Pp
55To enable a specific LMI type, connect the corresponding hook
56.Dv ( annexA ,
57.Dv annexD ,
58or
59.Dv group4 ")"
60to DLCI 0 or 1023 of a
61.Xr ng_frame_relay 4
62node.
63Typically, Annex A and Annex D live on DLCI 0 while Group-of-four
64lives on DLCI 1023.
65.Pp
66To enable LMI type auto-detection, connect the
67.Dv auto0
68hook to DLCI 0 and the
69.Dv auto1023
70hook to DLCI 1023.
71The node will attempt to automatically determine
72which LMI type is running at the switch, and go into that mode.
73.Pp
74Only one fixed LMI type, or auto-detection, can be active at any given time.
75.Pp
76The
77.Dv NGM_LMI_GET_STATUS
78control message can be used at any time to query the current status
79of the LMI protocol and each DLCI channel.
80This node also supports the
81.Dv NGM_TEXT_STATUS
82control message.
83.Sh HOOKS
84This node type supports the following hooks:
85.Pp
86.Bl -tag -width foobarbaz
87.It Dv annexA
88ITU Annex A LMI hook.
89.It Dv annexD
90ANSI Annex D LMI hook.
91.It Dv group4
92Group-of-four LMI hook.
93.It Dv auto0
94Auto-detection hook for DLCI 0.
95.It Dv auto1023
96Auto-detection hook for DLCI 1023.
97.El
98.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
99This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
100.Bl -tag -width foo
101.It Dv NGM_LMI_GET_STATUS
102This command returns status information in a
103.Dv "struct nglmistat" :
104.Bd -literal -offset 4n
105#define NGM_LMI_STAT_ARYSIZE   (1024/8)
106
107struct nglmistat {
108  u_char  proto[12];	/* Active proto (same as hook name) */
109  u_char  hook[12];	/* Active hook */
110  u_char  fixed;	/* If set to fixed LMI mode */
111  u_char  autod;	/* If currently auto-detecting */
112  u_char  seen[NGM_LMI_STAT_ARYSIZE];	/* bitmap DLCIs seen */
113  u_char  up[NGM_LMI_STAT_ARYSIZE];	/* bitmap DLCIs up */
114};
115.Ed
116.It Dv NGM_TEXT_STATUS
117This generic message returns is a human-readable version of the node status.
118.El
119.Sh SHUTDOWN
120This node shuts down upon receipt of a
121.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
122control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
