Hello @Clay Plaga ,

in order to be able to ping 8.8.8.8 you need NAT Network address Translation.

The private RFC 1918 addresses can be translated by the router but it needs an appropriate configuration to be able to.

>> From the switch module I can ping the router outside interface IP (internet facing)

this works because the router is able to answer back to the switch module so you have no communication issues with the switch module you need NAT.

ip nat inside   on interfac to the switch module

ip nat outside on internet facing interface

! the following is just an example each subnet of 10/8 172.16-31.x.y and 192.168.w.z are private IP addresses

access-list 101 permit ip 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 any

ip nat source inside list 101 interface <name> overload

Hope to help

Giuseppe
