This makes very little sense. You usually specify the netmask and default r=
oute when you assign Windows an IP address.
And how have you assigned the guest an IP address if it has no network inte=
rface?

>What must I do to convince this box that is it on a switch

On the bhyve host it should be configured just like any other bhyve virtual=
 machine. The guest should have a virtio-net device, which is linked to a t=
ap interface on the host. That tap interface should be bridged with whichev=
er physical network adapter you want the guest connected to.

However, I think I mentioned in a previous message that Windows does not ha=
ve the virtio-net drivers by default. You need to boot the guest with the v=
irtio-net driver ISO attached and install the driver. You should see the in=
terface in Device Manager flagged as not installed/working.

--------------------------------------------
Just one other thing to add to this. I'm not sure if this is the case here,=
 but it's something I've seen a few times now.
When configuring IP addresses, etc for a guest, this should be done -inside=
- the guest.
Do not assign a guest's IP address to the host, or to the tap interface.
Bhyve works just like any other hypervisor. IP settings are done in the gue=
st as if it was a real machine, the host just acts like a switch.
