The choice NO LMI under FR LMI is a test mode only and should not be used in a practical application.
3.Make any changes to the available settings as desired.

In FR PtoP, the DLCIs must be entered statically, as they will not come up dynamically as in FR PtoMP.
In FR PtoMP, there is an option to statically enter the DLCIs in association with a Protocol Manager, the physical port and MIB II, using the DLCI field in the Interface screen. If the DLCI is not static, it will be deleted if the Frame Relay switch determines that the DLCI has been eliminated. If the Frame Relay switch previously reported status on a DLCI, when it does not report the status of the DLCI, the DLCI and its associated information is deleted from the platform. Static entries are never deleted automatically. They must be deliberately deleted by the user. To enter a DLCI, it is set to “Inactive” and saved, but to delete a DLCI, it must be accessed and entered as “Invalid” and saved.
