DLCI is the L2 information you need when going from circuit to circuit. This gets mapped to an IP address and swapped at every Frame Relay switch
LMI adds a bunch of enhancements to frame relay such has multicasting and PVC status messages -

It's also good to know that LMI messages serve as keep alives between your router (DTE) and the frame-relay switch (DCE).
