At headquarters we have 2 routers. We have a corporate router connecting 10 sites via a public MPLS network for core services. Any traffic not destined for any of our sites gets routed to our internet router.
We'd like to take a site off of our public MPLS network, and set up a site-to-site VPN. We already have a Cisco 3000 concentrator that is used for remote access VPN.
My concern is the core traffic for this site is configured to go to the corporate router.
How do we get the core traffic to go through the internet router and VPN tunnel, and not the corporate router and MPLS network?

For starters, dont use the 3000. Not a good box for doing L2L vpn.
How is your routing designed in work network?

What kind of problems do you know about the 3000? It seems to do Remote Access VPN pretty good.
We're running all static routes. I thought about this and I think all I need to do is point the static route to the internet router and VPN cloud.
Thanks

The 3000 is not good at managing route and it's EOL.
For the routing part, it you use static route in your network, just point it at your vpn gateway.

I don't quite understand specifically what you mean by managing routes. We don't plan on implementing too many VPN's, maybe 3 or 4 at the most.

"For starters, dont use the 3000. Not a good box for doing L2L vpn."
Where did you come up with this reason?
I've done lot of VPN configurations on
many vendors such as Juniper, Checkpoint
and Cisco and I can say that the VPN
concentrator is an excellent device, very
easy to manage and configure. You can
even run dynamic routing protocol on the
VPNc. VPNc is a much better device than
the ASA in term of VPN, IMHO. Granted,
if you have complex VPNs with GRE, then
IOS router is the way to go but VPNc
will do just fine here, especially when
you only have a few tunnels to deal with.
Managing routes on VPNc is almost the
same as IOS routers.
