Hi!
It depends on your configuration. For node objects, status calculated based on two sources - statuses of child objects (interfaces and network services), and active alarms for the node. So, if you, for example, have outstanding critical alarm, node status will be critical even if it is reachable by management server. Also, default status calculation algorithm takes most critical status of child objects, so if you have managed device with multiple interfaces, one interface in down state will cause critical status for entire device, although it is still reachable via other interfaces.
You can safely assume that critical status mean "node unreachable or down" only if you have configured system in that way. In default configuration this is not the case.
Best regards,
Victor
