This object is configured in interconnection node of the sub-ring to support the feature 'Minimizing segmentation in interconnected rings' as per Appendix X of ITU-T G.8032/Y.1344 (03/2010) standard. Configured value of vxERPSSrvcMultipleFailure is used in Block Indication Logic Procedure as per Section X.3.2 in Appendix X of ITU-T G.8032/Y.1344 (03/2010) standard. Interconnected rings as described below : a) If Loss of connectivity between the interconnection nodes is detected and if the object pvxERPSSrvcMultipleFailure is configured as primary then Local MS command is applied on the subring port else loss of connectivity between the interconnection nodes is ignored. b) Similarly when loss of connectivity between the interconnection nodes is recovered and if the object pvxERPSSrvcInterconnectedNode is primary then Local MS command on the subring port is cleared else recovery of connectivity between the interconnection nodes is ignored. This object is effective only when ring node is interconnection node. The default value is disabled (1). This object is applicable only when the compatible version is 2.
