Configuring RLMI
This chapter describes how to configure a Resilient Link Management Interface 
(RLMI), which provides resiliency by monitoring LMI status, and explains how to 
configure RLMI on Frame Relay UNI/NNI logical ports, and on ATM Network 
Interworking for Frame Relay NNI logical ports on 1-port ATM IWU OC-3c/STM-1 
and 1-port ATM CS DS3/E3 cards. 
An RLMI preferred/backup pair can be a combination of any two Frame Relay 
UNI/NNI physical links. For example, a preferred Universal Input/Output (UIO) V.35 
and a backup T1. In addition, the ATM Network Interworking for Frame Relay NNI 
logical port is supported on the B-STDX 1-port ATM CS DS3/E3 and 1-port ATM 
IWU OC-3c/STM-1 cards. Each RLMI preferred/backup pair is configured 
independently from other pairs.
