I am not sure how you configured your interface, here ifconfig would
show:

em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
        inet6 fe80::20e:cff:fe5c:3228%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
        inet 192.41.170.14 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.41.170.255
        inet 192.41.170.40 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.41.170.40
        inet 192.41.170.41 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.41.170.41

etc. I have only one interface with many IPs. I configure it in
/etc/rc.conf with:

ifconfig_em0="inet 192.41.170.14  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet 192.41.170.40/32"
ifconfig_em0_alias1="inet 192.41.170.41/32"
