This object carries the specific alarm code identifying which Cisco IMA link-level alarm condition occurred on one member link of an IMA bundle, and per its description exists to be reported inside a notification. Unlike the group-level alarm in cimaGrpAlarmType, this one points to a single physical link's problem - such as loss of frame or a link that's out of the group's delay skew tolerance - while the bundle overall may still be functioning on its remaining links. An admin seeing this trap fire for one link while cimaGrpAlarmType stays clear knows the bundle is degraded but not down.
