LACP Setup

[avilt]

I need to setup LACP channel between two Cisco switches which is a up-link, so I will set it up as trunk. In the following, is the command "spanning-tree guard root" required?

Interface range gig1/0/23 - 24
no shut
no spanning-tree portfast
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 10 mode active
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 100, 200
spanning-tree guard root

It is not a requirement. That is just an option. If you have a distro switch connecting to an access switch and the distro is the root switch and you never want to the access switch to be the root, you configure this option.
