spanning-tree port type edge trunk on port-channel vs physical int

[MSJ1]

I see Physical Interface has this command "spanning-tree port type edge trunk" configured but not on the Port-Channel Interface. So port-channel perspective is it taking the command "spanning-tree port type edge trunk" ?

SW# sh run interface port-channel 6

version 7.1(5)N1(1b)

interface port-channel6
description Link to Fabric
switchport mode trunk
no lacp suspend-individual
switchport trunk allowed vlan 5,6,7

SW# sh run interface ethernet 1/27

interface Ethernet1/27
description Link to Fabric
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 5,6,7
spanning-tree port type edge trunk
channel-group 6 mode active

Yes it is-
That command is the equivalent to the access-port command, it states the port (in this case a trunk port) is considered an edge port thus will stp transition straight into a forwarding state- You should only want to apply edge port status to access/trunks ports that are connected to edge devices and NOT any other interconnecting switch.

Not sure what type of device you are using, but it is usually the other way around, where you apply the command to the Portchannel interface and the physical interfaces will inherit that from the Portchannel interface.
