Are you port-fasting that sw2 g0/1 trunk interface ?  I'm wondering why it
goes straight to fwd prior to listening and learning ?  ...i thought it
would blk, list, learn, fwd...

Hello,

I have created a l2pt between sw1-gi0/1 and sw2-gi0/1 so both switches are
logical connected.
The te1/1 interface has the lowest cost so gi0/1 in sw2 goes in BLK state.
When the connection between sw4 and the isp swich goes down, the link
between sw2 and sw4 stays up but no bpdu's are received.
gi0/1 in sw then goes in FWD state. So when the link between sw4 and isp
comes up you have loop till some bpdu is received on sw2 gi0/1. 

How can i prevent this interface going in fwd state? What am i missing?

Kind regards
Erik
