We just inherited a network that needs a lot of cleanup. The current setup consists of a core Cisco4510 connected via a ten gig link to a Juniper EX4600 which is in turn connected to several EX3400 access switches. The problem is that the Cisco shows its one downlink as blocking for a couple of vlans but the rest of the vlans are forwarding fine:

The Cisco sees itself as the root bridge.. but all the Juniper EX3400s also see themselves as root. The EX4600 sees one of the EX I have tried removing all redundant links downstream but it has not helped. I need some ideas guys.
