Good point. The switches are 3550-EMIs and so are capable of being GRE
endpoints.

That is also a good point. When keepalives are disabled the tunnel
endpoint has no idea if the tunnel is really working or not so you
cannot rely on the fact that the tunnel interface says it is up. In
this case however I do believe the tunnel is working because on SW1 I
can ping the other end of the tunnel - from SW1 I can ping
192.168.0.6. There is no routing enabled on the network so the only
way for SW1 to ping 192.168.0.6 is via the tunnel.
