This read-write object sets the severity level associated with the qdProfileMismatchAlarm and, per its DEFVAL of warningTrapEnable, controls whether a trap is sent when that alarm's status changes. It lets an admin tune how loudly the device should escalate a pending-restart condition, from a silent status flag up to an active SNMP trap notification. An admin who wants immediate notification when a profile change is awaiting restart would set this to enable trap generation at, say, warning severity so an NMS raises a ticket automatically.
