Bit map representing the action to be performed when alarm forwarding will take place. bit 0 - No Action. '1' value - device should NOT perform any action, though other bits indicate the action to be taken. '0' value - device should perform the action/s indicated by rest of the bits. In this case, one of the other bits should be '1'. bit 1 - Interface Deactivation (of the affected Port: alarmForwardingToPort) bit 2 - OAM Signaling. Affected Port (alarmForwardingToPort) will send special OAM Signaling to the Far-End unit about the Failure. This object will be used only for devices that support Deactivation per entry OR can support more than one action.
