Etherchannel make the link 1 logical connection. Therefore, one STP interface. If one link fails it becomes a single connection, so you are still up.

My STP type is IEEE. If I configure those two links as Etherchannel will one of those links still be blocked by STP? Or will the Etherchannel trunk be viewed by STP as only one link. Is there any disadvantage to doing this instead of letting it be blocked by STP for redundancy.
