With the latest PM3 ComOS 3.8 betas you can create a subinterface for the
ether0 port. I believe the syntax is something close to the following:

add sub 2
set sub 2 address 192.168.0.1
set sub 2 netmask 255.255.255.0
set sub 2 broadcast high
set sub 2 port ether0

2 is the name, you can call it anything you want. These command do work,
but I don't know if subinterfaces work reliably yet. Use at your own risk!
