Change alerts are generated when a condition changes state. These types of alerts
are forwarded to any consoles and gateways that are currently attached to the
agent management server. Change alerts cannot be cleared, since neither the agent
or the management server maintains information about the alert (other than
logging the alert). Console operators dismiss change alerts locally.
Resettable alerts are generated when a condition changes in a predefined manner.
Resettable alerts can be cleared by a console operator, or by the agent itself for
some alerts.

The enterprise OID prefix is 1.3.6.1.4.1 as specified in RFC1155-SMI, plus the

can be expanded to 1.3.6.1.4.1.768.2:
nci OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { enterprises 768 }
lanalert OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { nci 2 }
