MPLS Routing Issue

I have a main site (Site1) and a remote site (Site2).  I have successful communication between both sites.  I can access systems resources on both networks from each direction.

Site2  - Router  10.10.10.6   Gateway  10.10.10.5  Network 100.100.101.x
Site1 - Layer 3 Switch 10.10.10.2  Gateway 10.10.10.1 Network 192.168.0.x
Site1 Firewall  192.168.3.1   DNS 192.168.3.2

My Problem - I need Site2 to get internet access from Site1.  When connected via a telnet session on router at Site2 I try to ping google.com and it dies so I try a tracert and it is bouncing around as follows....  

10.10.10.1
10.10.10.2
10.10.10.1
10.10.10.2

I am assuming that I don't have the correct routes in the firewall?

Actually it is most likely in your gateway if that is your firewall then yes you may. Need to see the routing table for the switch and the gateway and maybe some configs if possible. Looks like a quick fix though.

Yes my firewall 192.168.3.1 is the gateway for Site1.  Please see
Layer 3 Switch routing table below...

Total Number of Routes  5      

   
Network Address Subnet Mask  Protocol Next Hop Int  Next Hop Ip Address    

0.0.0.0                   0.0.0.0            Default       vlan2          10.10.10.1  
10.10.10.0       255.255.255.252   Local         vlan2          10.10.10.2  
10.10.10.4       255.255.255.252   Static        vlan2          10.10.10.1  
100.100.101.0 255.255.255.0       Static        vlan2          10.10.10.1  
192.168.0.0     255.255.0.0           Local         vlan1          192.168.3.13

Please see Gateway/Firewall table below.. (FYI the 192.168.3.13 address is the local address for the Layer 3 Switch 10.10.10.2.

 Source  Destination                 Service  Gateway  
 1 Any   255.255.255.255/32     Any     0.0.0.0

Where is 10.10.10.1. Is it another interface on the firewall?

The 10.10.10.1 router/gateway that the ISP owns.

It is not an interface on my firewall.  The 10.10.10.1 connects to my layer 3 switch  10.10.10.2

The simple answer is that 10.10.10.1 thinks that 10.10.10.2 has a better default route to the Internet then it does. I would have to see the routing table on it before I could tell you why.

ok.....10.10.10.2 should have the better default route to the internet.  Is there a route that I can add to 10.10.10.2 that will take it out to the internet over my firewall at 192.168.3.1?

First you need to remove the default route that points to 10.10.10.1 then add one that points to your firewall. Use these commands and that should do it. Let me know how it works!

no ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.3.13

When I to add this route to the layer3 switch,  I get the following error...

The specified static route net hop router address is invalid.

Please advise?

I am currently writing this post from Site2 via the Internet.  Thank You very much for your help.

I only have one more issue to clean up.  At Site1 I have a DHCP server setup for the 100.100.101.x network.  At Site2 my router has an ip helper that I have setup to point to 192.168.3.2 which is my DHCP server at Site1 but I can not seem to get assigned an IP from the scope on a machine in Site2. I will setup another question thus if you have any ideas that solve this problem you will also be awarded points.

Thank You!

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
