+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ng_lmi
+.Nd frame relay LMI protocol netgraph node type
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/types.h
+.In netgraph/ng_lmi.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm lmi
+node type performs the frame relay LMI protocol.
+It supports
+the ITU Annex A, ANSI Annex D, and Group-of-four LMI types.
+It also supports auto-detection of the LMI type.
+.Pp
+To enable a specific LMI type, connect the corresponding hook
+.Dv ( annexA ,
+.Dv annexD ,
+or
+.Dv group4 ")"
+to DLCI 0 or 1023 of a
+.Xr ng_frame_relay 4
+node.
+Typically, Annex A and Annex D live on DLCI 0 while Group-of-four
+lives on DLCI 1023.
+.Pp
+To enable LMI type auto-detection, connect the
+.Dv auto0
+hook to DLCI 0 and the
+.Dv auto1023
+hook to DLCI 1023.
+The node will attempt to automatically determine
+which LMI type is running at the switch, and go into that mode.
+.Pp
+Only one fixed LMI type, or auto-detection, can be active at any given time.
+.Pp
+The
+.Dv NGM_LMI_GET_STATUS
+control message can be used at any time to query the current status
+of the LMI protocol and each DLCI channel.
+This node also supports the
+.Dv NGM_TEXT_STATUS
+control message.
+.Sh HOOKS
+This node type supports the following hooks:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Va auto1023"
+.It Va annexA
+ITU Annex A LMI hook.
+.It Va annexD
+ANSI Annex D LMI hook.
+.It Va group4
+Group-of-four LMI hook.
+.It Va auto0
+Auto-detection hook for DLCI 0.
+.It Va auto1023
+Auto-detection hook for DLCI 1023.
+.El
+.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
+This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
+.Bl -tag -width foo
+.It Dv NGM_LMI_GET_STATUS
+This command returns status information in a
+.Dv "struct nglmistat" :
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+#define NGM_LMI_STAT_ARYSIZE (1024/8)
+
+struct nglmistat {
+ u_char proto[12]; /* Active proto (same as hook name) */
+ u_char hook[12]; /* Active hook */
+ u_char fixed; /* If set to fixed LMI mode */
+ u_char autod; /* If currently auto-detecting */
+ u_char seen[NGM_LMI_STAT_ARYSIZE]; /* DLCIs ever seen */
+ u_char up[NGM_LMI_STAT_ARYSIZE]; /* DLCIs currently up */
+};
+.Ed
+.It Dv NGM_TEXT_STATUS
+This generic message returns is a human-readable version of the node status.
+.El
+.Sh SHUTDOWN
+This node shuts down upon receipt of a
+.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
+control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
