Local Management Interface. a set of the following

to
specification. Called "LMT" in ANSI terminology.
a keep-alive mechanism that verifies that data is
flowing.
a multi-cast mechanism, which provides the network
server with its local DLCI and the multi-cast
DLCI.
Global addressing; this gives DLCIs global rather
than local significance in Frame Relay networks.
a mechanism that provides an on-going status report
on the DLCIs known to the switch.
Media Access Control. Lower of the two sub-layers
of the data link layer defined by the IEEE.
for every port or device that connects to a LAN.
Other devices in the network use these addresses to
locate specific ports in the network and to create and
update routing tables and data structures.
addresses are six bytes long and are IEEE-
controlled. Also known as a hardware address, a
MAC-layer address, or a physical address.

Network architectural model developed by ISO and
ITU-T. The model consists of the following seven
layers, each of which specifies particular network
functions.
The lowest layer is closest to the media technology,
and the highest layer is closest to the user. The
hardware and software implement the lower two
layers, while only the software implements the upper
five layers.
Physical layer - the actual wires and connections in
the network.
Data

layer
addressing, network topology, error notification,
and ordered delivery.
Network layer – responsible for connectivity, path
selection, and routing.
Transport
layer
communication, virtual circuit management, fault
detection, and flow control.
Session layer - manages sessions between
applications.
