ethernet lmi

ethernet lmi
To configure enable Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI) and to configure the switch as a
customer-edge (CE) device, use the ethernet lmi command in global configuration mode. To disable
E-LMI globally or to disable E-LMI CE, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
ce
global
Defaults Ethernet LMI is disabled. When enabled with the global keyword, by default the switch is a PR device.
Command Modes Global configuration
Command History Release
12.2(52)EY
Usage Guidelines Use ethernet lmi global command to enable E-LMI globally. Use ethernet lmi ce command to enable
the switch as E-LMI CE device.
Ethernet LMI is disabled by default on an interface and must be explicitly enabled by entering the
ethernet lmi interface interface configuration command. The ethernet lmi global command enables
Ethernet LMI on all interfaces for an entire device. The benefit of this command is that you can enable
Ethernet LMI on all interfaces with one command instead of enabling Ethernet LMI separately on each
interface. To enable the interface in CE mode, you must also enter the ethernet lmi ce global
configuration command.
To disable Ethernet LMI on a specific interface after you have entered the ethernet lmi global command,
enter the no ethernet lmi interface interface configuration command.
The sequence in which you enter the ethernet lmi interface interface configuration and ethernet lmi
global global configuration commands is important. The latest command entered overrides the prior
command entered.
