Something like this?

de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.124.6 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.124.255
        inet 192.168.124.53 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.124.53
        inet 192.168.124.80 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.124.80
        ether 00:00:f8:22:be:04
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
        status: active
