The slick way to do this is to subnet your network into /27 blocks (8
subnets with netmask 255.255.255.224) and if you use the first subnet
(A.B.C.0) for the Ethernet, all the PM's will recognize that the network is
subnetted & behave nicely. There are 30 usable host addresses per subnet
which meshes rather nicely with 30-port boxes. Set the first PM up with an
assigned address of A.B.C.33 and the second with A.B.C.65 etcetera, you will
only get one subnet route per PM and not 30 host routes.
