Description: The alarm that may be sent when this entry is first set to `active'. If the first sample after this entry becomes active is greater than or equal to the risingThreshold and snmpAlarmStartupAlarm is equal to `risingAlarm' or `risingOrFallingAlarm', then a single rising alarm will be generated. If the first sample after this entry becomes active is less than or equal to the fallingThreshold and snmpAlarmStartupAlarm is equal to `fallingAlarm' or `risingOrFallingAlarm', then a single falling alarm will be generated. Note that a snmpObjectUnavailableAlarm is sent upon startup whenever it is applicable, independent of the setting of snmpAlarmStartupAlarm.

An attempt to modify this object will fail with an `inconsistentValue' error if the associated snmpAlarmStatus object would be equal to `active' both before and after the modification attempt.
