I have a Cisco 2621 router with 2 ethernet port.
I have 2 network segments 192.168.253.x/24 and 10.0.0.x/8.In order for both network to communicate each other,do I need configured Inter Vlan routing or I just use the static route or Rip route will do.

I would use the ip route to add route statements between the 2 segments. You can VLAN the traffic, but it does add over head and processing time. I would not use RIP unless you need to broadcast routing information to another router between the two domains.

Good Luck,

cisco doesnt need routes between interfaces. Set one interface to 192.168.253.1 and the other to 10.0.10.1. Just setup every machine to use the cisco as its gateway. Both sides will communicate.

PS: remove the line "no ip routing" which may be set on your cisco config.

you only use routes if the cisco will be forwarding ip packets to another router.

I already done by setting the router Ethernet interface and configured on the workstation gateway but is not working.
From the router I was able to ping both segment workstations,from the workstation I was able to ping to both Ethernet interface onthe router but not on the other side of the network workstation.Do want to view on my config file.Very weird.
