Sorry, I guess I should have read the man page as well :)
              address address
                     Address (dotted quad) required

              netmask netmask
                     Netmask (dotted quad) required


The above two are required.  And the next are optional:

              broadcast broadcast_address
                     Broadcast address (dotted quad)

              network network_address
                     Network address (dotted quad)  required  for
                     2.0.x kernels

              gateway address
                     Default gateway (dotted quad)

              pointopoint address
                     Address  of  other  end point (dotted quad).
                     Note the spelling of "point-to".

Andrew.
