For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in
TR 21.905 and in
TS 28.500 and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in

For VNF Fault Management stage 2 solution over Itf-N, the Alarm IRP IS is applicable. The overall architectural feature of Alarm IRP is specified in
TS 32.111-2. The Alarm IRP IS defines the semantics of alarms and the interactions visible across the reference point in a protocol neutral way. It defines the semantics of the operations and notifications visible in the Alarm IRP. It does not define the syntax or encoding of the operations, notifications and their parameters. For the purpose of notification, Notification IRP [3] is needed.
