= Norm-unit index in an abelian local extension

If $L/K$ is a finite abelian extension of local fields, then
$$
[\mathcal O_K^\times:N_{L/K}(\mathcal O_L^\times)]=e(L/K).
$$
Indeed, <Local Artin reciprocity> gives total norm index $[L:K]=ef$, while the valuation image of the norm subgroup is $f\mathbb Z$.
