Lan Question?

Question

Which routing protocol would I use on a LAN with two subnets? Should I use the same protocol for communication between two buildings on the same block? I'm trying to understand this..

Answer 1

It comes down to using a routable protocol vs an non-routable protocol.  A non-routable would be used on a LAN, where as going between buildings would probably mean going through an actual router device, that would require a routable protocol.

I let this site explain it more...

Answer 2

With two subnets on one router, you don't need routing, the router will know of the networks because it is directly connected to each.  But I would suggest OSPF or EIGRP for internal routing.  This is not a trivial task however.
