This object indicates ring port2's current status updated by ERPS control process of this ring. If the status is blocked then: - Data traffic will be blocked on this port. - R-APS messages received on this port will be given to ERPS control process but will not be forwarded. - Similarly R-APS messages received at other member ports of R-APS VLAN will not be forwarded on this port. - Locally regenerated R-APS packets will be transmitted out of this port. If the status is unblocked then: - Data traffic will be unblocked on this port. - R-APS messages received on this port will be given to ERPS control process and will be forwarded to R-APS VLAN member ports. - Similarly R-APS messages received at other member ports of R-APS VLAN can be forwarded on this port. For sub-rings in interconnected nodes, this object is not valid, and get on this object will always return 'unblocked'.
