Use the correct netmask; from ifconfig(8):
alias Establish an additional network address for this interface. T=
his
is sometimes useful when changing network numbers, and one wis=
hes
to accept packets addressed to the old interface. If the addr=
ess
is on the same subnet as the first network address for this
interface, a non-conflicting netmask must be given. Usually
0xffffffff is most appropriate.
