Not sure what you're asking exactly, but last time we used L3 everywhere
eliminating L2/STP altogether, basically using VLANs only for addressing PtP
connections, so same VLAN coould exist in many places transparently, and it
just basically corresponded to address plan.
But then again, I have an alergy of VTP and so I always tried to avoid it.
