Hi,

There is a difference:

spanning-tree portfast trunk

This command allows you to configure PortFast on trunk ports

spanning-tree portfast default

This command enable PortFast by default on all access ports

Hi,

i come to command related to mst 
spanning-tree portfast trunk 

This command is not necessarily specific to MST. This is a generic spanning-tree command which can be used in all modes.

As Reza explained, the spanning-tree portfast trunk, enables the portfast feature on a trunking interface - configuring just spanning-tree portfast on a trunking interface has no effect. This is most commonly used when you have trunked interfaces that go to servers, etc.

The spanning-tree portfast default command is an easy way of enabling the portfast feature on all access ports instead of going into each interface and enabling it one by one.
