I believe the syntax is

  interfaces = ip/netmask [ip/netmask ...]

Excerpt from man smb.conf:

interfaces (G)
...

The option takes a list of ip/netmask pairs. The netmask
may either be a bitmask, or a bitlength.

For example, the following line:

 interfaces = 192.168.2.10/24 192.168.3.10/24

would configure two network interfaces with  IP  addresses
192.168.2.10 and 192.168.3.10. The netmasks of both inter-
faces would be set to 255.255.255.0.

You could produce an equivalent result by using:

 interfaces = 192.168.2.10/255.255.255.0 192.168.3.10/255.255.255.0
																				if you prefer that format.
