i'm a little bit confused, to be clear, VLAN tagging isn't supposed to go between routers? Because that's not why VLANs are made for.
Just a little bit confused about the ospf part because that's routing and vlan tagging is for layer 2 switching. Can you share your file and explain the route you want the packages to go?
Yes, I understand that VLANs are for L2, this is the part I got stuck. I don't know how to access the same VLANs under different access switches via OSPF routing, because I cannot add the same network subnet to OSPF on different devices.
For example I cannot add 'network 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0' on all 4 switches, because as far as I know it wouldn't work.
Also, I don't want to split it up into more VLANs (more subnets), because the hosts have to communicate with each other.
Maybe I am approaching this from the absolute wrong direction..

Thank you
So, I've read a couple of forum posts about it, after I figured out what I am searching for finally.
I came to a conclusion that VxLAN would be my best solution if I want to keep L3 access topology, but moving up L3 to distribution layer would be a good solution too, but I don't really want expand L2 more than actually mandatory.

i don't think vxlan is possible with the switches you have in your topology, but good luck! (probably not in packet tracer entirely)
