Trunk N3048 Stack to N2048 Stack

Question

I have 2 N3048 switches as my core for virtualization and 3 N2048 switches stacked for computer/phones.   I need to connect the two stacks, I have 4 cat6 cables connecting them as such N3048 1/0/47 -> N2048 1/0/47 N3048 1/0/48 -> N2048 1/0/48 N3048 2/0/47 -> N2048 2/0/48 N3048 2/0/48 -> N2048 3/0/48 VLANs that need to intercommunicate are VLAN 2, 5, 11, 23 Computers are VLAN 2 (10.10.2.0/24) Serviers is VLAN 11 (10.10.1.0/24) Development is VLAN 23 (10.10.8.0/24) MGMT is VLAN 5 (10.10.5.0/24) Each of these vlans have an IP address assigned interface on each switch.  My question is: 4 ports used over kill? Should this be a LAG / port channel? And how the heck to configure them.  Currently here is my config Core Stack: interface Gi1/0/47channel-group 1 mode activespanning-tree portfastswitchport mode trunkexit!interface Gi1/0/48channel-group 1 mode activespanning-tree portfastswitchport mode trunk interface Gi2/0/47channel-group 1 mode activespanning-tree portfastswitchport mode trunkexit!interface Gi2/0/48channel-group 1 mode activespanning-tree portfastswitchport mode trunkexit!interface port-channel 1description 'Link - Stack1'switchport mode generalswitchport general pvid 11switchport general allowed vlan add 2,5,11,23exit User Stack1 interface Gi1/0/47channel-group 2 mode activeswitchport mode trunkexit!interface Gi1/0/48channel-group 2 mode activeswitchport mode trunkexit!interface Gi2/0/48channel-group 2 mode activeswitchport mode trunkexit!interface Gi3/0/48channel-group 2 mode activeswitchport mode trunkexit!interface port-channel 2description 'Link - TPL-Core'switchport mode generalswitchport general pvid 11switchport general allowed vlan add 2,5,11,23exit I'm only able to ping the 10.10.1.0 interface between switches.. so I know I've got thi completely wrong.. thanks for the help!

Daniel.. this did the trick!  I've removed the IPs from the Computer Stack except for the management IP. It appears that the VLANs are working correctly now! Thank you for your help!!!!!!
