Use VSS (Virtual Switching System) where ever possible, that could help in
eliminating STP, Providing Multi chassis Ether Channel, as well as
backplane speed of 1.4 TB.

Re: OT: Data Center infrastructure
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.
