Afaik the /24 is correct for the local network, although I don't know what it means. Seems like this is called prefix length in the switch. The netmask according to the switch settings is 255.255.255.0.
It definitely worked in rc.conf with 255.255.0.0 as netmask and aforementioned gateway, some links that can shed light on this stuff, especially the strange /24, would be welcome.
The "/24" is just another way of writing a netmask of 255.255.255.0. 24 is the number of bits in the network prefix. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIDR_notation.
