Tunnel status up but protocol down

ss571
Level 1
Level 1

Here is my topology in gns3: 

Screenshot 2024-01-19 010930.png I plan to form a tunnel between R3 and R4, and the loopback and tunnel interface is as shown next to the routers. I've set the tunnel source and destination for both routers with the loopback interfaces, and all physical and loopback interfaces are up for R1-4. The MTU value for both routers is the same too. But when I checked the "sh ip int br" for R3 and R4, the tunnel interface status is up, but protocol is down. May I know why is this occurring?

Below are the sh ip int br for R3 and R4:

As I guess 
never use same IGP for both tunnel and it is tunnel source 
here you use OSPF 1 for tunnel and for tunnel source (looback which is no correct add to OSPF)
so what you need is 
A-interface loopback 

ip ospf network point-to-point

<<- you need to add this in both router 
B-router ospf 1  <<- you need to add this in both router 

net <LO IP> area 0

C-router ospf 10 <<- you need to add this in both router 

net <tunnel IP> area 0

why need two separate OSPF ?

MHM

Does that mean B and C needs to be added into R1 to 4? or just R3 and R4?
