You will have to be routed a subnet that the pm2 is NOT in. We subnet our
PM's into a small subnet of 30 IP's, specifically so we can then route
OTHER subnets in the same class C to customers.

Ask him if he knows if the cisco youare using can do ospf. Im not that
familiar with it. but it sounds like you might have to do rip, and do it
like I suggested.
