PowerConnect 6024 routing between VLANs
I am trying to configure a 6024 switch to route traffic between two networks. I set up a VLAN for network 1 (192.168.8.X) and another VLAN for network 2 (192.168.98.X) on the switch. What I am having trouble with is how to establish a route between the 2 VLANS. In other words, I want nodes on the 192.168.98.X network to be able to communicate with nodes on the 192.168.8.X network through the PowerConnect 6024. Any pointers would be most welcome!! Thanks in advance.

Inter-VLAN communications need layer 3 routing process (network routers).

Yes,
I also think so. There is a chapter "Configuring Routing" in the user manual:

To route between VLANs, the switch first needs to have the proper networks in its routing table. The way to do this is to assign an IP address to the respective VLANs.
Example:
Network 192.168.8.x = VLAN 8
Network 192.168.98.x = VLAN 98
interface VLAN 8
ip address 192.168.8.1 /24
interface VLAN 98
ip address 192.168.98.1 /24
You can use the "show ip route" command to verify these directly connected routes. These interface addresses will be the default gateway for the clients on each VLAN.

I am having the same problem. I have created the VLANs with the correct IP addresses but the routing is not working. Here is my config file:
vlan database
vlan 2-3
exit
interface vlan 1
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
exit
interface vlan 2
ip address 10.2.1.1 255.255.255.0
exit
interface vlan 3
ip address 10.3.1.1 255.255.255.0
exit
And here is the results of the "show ip route"
Maximum Parallel Paths: 4 (4 after reset)
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, O - OSPF, E - OSPF external
C 10.1.1.0/24 is directly connected vlan 1

This routing table indicates that there is only one directly connected route... VLAN 1. This typically indicates that the other VLAN interfaces are down. For the VLAN 2 and 3 interfaces to be up, there must be an active port configured with these VLANs on the switch.
If the 6024 is uplinked to a layer 2 switch, these VLANs would need to be trunked on the uplink. If you are only using the 6024 and the clients are directly connected to the switch, the client ports would need to be configured as access ports on VLAN 2 or 3.
See the link below for the "switchport trunk" and "switchport access" command options in the online CLI guide:
