In the current Comware software, it is possible to configure a Bridge-Aggregation as lacp edge-port. This means the member ports of the link-aggregation will initially be placed in the Individual state for as long as no LACP traffic is received, or when the LACP peer times out on the ports (3x LACP hello of 30sec, which means after 90 seconds). If it does not receive one the port is declared an edge-port and does not participate in spanning-tree or transmit BPDUs out the port. If it does receive a BPDU then it is declared a non-edge-port and does participate. Setting to admin-edge will cause the ports to immediately go to forward when the port.
