Study,
The stp tunnelling is for S1-S3 across S4, its got nothing to do with S2 being shut down... l2p tunnel stp is granted to make s1-s3 share one common tree. I cant reason why SW2, having three trunks in parallel run to SW4 is being shut down. Those three are the only paths up from SW2, so honestly I am lost here completely.

Turn it off and the loop doesnt go away, it just doesnt detect. The STP addition was the fix to detect and block the loop.
   
  Scott. Correct me if I am wrong on this.

  Besides, how does interface keepalive relate to spantree loops?

  Hmm, whats the mechanism behind the interface keepalives that triggers the interface to shutdown? Besides, I really doubt that just by disabling the interface keepalive you avoid the loop, its just might stop going into errdisable but the loop will still occur if there is one (?)

  I finished that lab a few weeks ago. All I can say is it was a bugger to
 solve. The IE message board has some good insight into why it was
 occurring. I believe turning off interface keep-alives resolved the looping
 problem. I believe it was SW4, F0/13, F0/15, F0/19, F0/21. Also, I tried
 doing L2protocol-tunnel on STP also...

 Hi Gang,
 
 Has anyone done internetwork expert's lab 20 recently? I am having a hard
 time on the first section with STP where it keeps flipping interfaces to
 err-disabled mode due to 'loopback error'. I am wondering if anyone was able
 to solve it.
 
 Thanks!
