Description: This object is used to create and delete thresholds in templates.

A new entry can only be created when there is an active entry in the cifthTemplateTable with the same value of cifthTemplateIndex. The values of cifthThresholdObject, cifthThresholdSeverity, cifthThresholdType, and cifthThresholdFiredValue must be provided before activating the entry. If the value of cifthTemplateNotifyHoldDownType in the cifthTemplateEntry with the same value of cifthTemplateIndex is 'fireAndClearThresholds', then the value of cifthThresholdClearedValue must also be provided before activating the entry. If the value of cifthThresholdType is other than 'rateOfIncreaseExponentXIfSpeed', then the value of cifthThresholdSampleInterval must also be provided before activating the entry.

When an entry is activated, if there are any entries in cifthTemplateIfAssignTable with the same value of cifthTemplateIndex, then the threshold is activated on all interfaces identified in those entries that have instances of the object identified by cifthThresholdObject.

When an entry is destroyed, if there are any entries in cifthTemplateIfAssignTable with the same value of cifthTemplateIndex, then the threshold is de-activated on the interfaces identified in those entries. If there are any entries in cifthIfThresholdFiredTable with cifthIfThresholdFiredTemplate value equal to this value of cifthTemplateIndex, then the bit in cifthIfThresholdsFired corresponding to this threshold is cleared in all such entries.

After the entry has been activated, this object cannot be set to any value other than 'destroy'. The row status never changes to 'notInService' after reaching the value 'active'.
