PowerConnect 3348 / Cisco 3750 trunking issue?
I am having a problem trunking the 3348 and 3750. I have two 3750's that are stacked together as one and one 3348.
On the 3348, I am using 1/g1 and 1/g2 to trunk to g1/0/1 and g2/0/1 of the 3750 respectively.
Here's the issue:
If I only use either one of the trunking ports, there is no problem. It is when I try to plug in the other port, I start losing connections. I have users on other switches that are connected to the 3750 that are not trunked. Users start losing connection to the network when I have both of the trunks plugged in on the 3348 and 3750.
Here's the configuration for the 3348:
dell-3348# show run
port storm-control enable unknown fastethernet
port storm-control enable broadcast fastethernet
port storm-control enable multicast fastethernet
interface port-channel 1
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree cost 4
exit
interface range ethernet 1/g(1-2)
speed 1000
exit
interface range ethernet 1/g(1-2)
switchport mode trunk
exit

exit
interface range ethernet 1/e(1,47)
switchport access vlan 100
exit
interface range ethernet 1/g(1-2)
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 100
exit
interface vlan 100
ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
exit
interface vlan 1
ip address 192.168.5.5 255.255.255.0
exit
hostname dell-3348
Here's the configuration for the 3750:
spanning-tree mode pvst
spanning-tree extend system-id

The problem you are having is due to the "trunking" configuration you are using. You have configured spanning-tree settings on port channel 1, but I don't see on either switch where the ports were added to the channel-group.
To configure a static LAG (Link Aggregation Group), you would need to the following command:
interface range ethernet 1/g1-2
channel-group 1 mode on
Once the LAG is created, all configuration for that LAG would be done on the port-channel. You would need the following commands to create a VLAN trunk on the port-channel:
interface port-channel 1
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 100
You would then need to configure the ports on the Cisco to be members of an EtherChannel group (or comparable configuration for the 3700 series).
With the ports not configured for a LAG, you are probably creating a broadcast storm when connecting two ports to the same switch.
