The syntax looks OK. Assuming the address is valid for the local network and the chosen address is not already in use, I would suspect wrong filename or permissions. Interface config files are supposed to be in /etc/, with a name of hostname.$interfacename where $interfacename is the interface name as it turns up in your dmesg, here em1: em1 at pci3 dev 0 function 0 "Intel I210" rev 0x03: msi, address 00:25:90:47:88:8c and the configuration is stored in $ ls -l /etc/hostname.em1 -rw-r----- 1 root wheel 207 Jul 17 2023 /etc/hostname.em1 Hope this helps.
