The cmnAlarmStatusTable contains entries that report the status of alarms. The status of an alarm indicates whether the alarm is currently active or inactive. This information will be determined by the network element depending on the alarm threshold configuration.

The structure of the table is such that alarm status is supported on a unit or interface basis, and then on an alarm type basis within the interface. For simplicity sake and to support the reporting of status of all alarms, a unit is treated as an interface in this table.
