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