You could do that, I suppose, but it's not the preferred method.

The preferred method involves running OSPF. Set the Pool to start on a
natural /27 or /28 subnet boundary, and set the pool size to 48. The PM3
will automatically send an announcement in OSPF for a pair of routes for
the pool, a /27 and a /28, covering exactly 48 addresses.
Then assign any IP address as the static address (preferrably from an
unused and as-yet unrouted block), and the PM3 will announce a route for
it in OSPF as well.
