"media" isn't a valid broadcast address.  You still need the NONE in
there before the extra options.  You already know about the other 2
mistakes obviously.

But apart from that, I would recommend you just leave them on autodetect on
both the switch and the openbsd machines.  Do your job on assuming the
person who will take over after you is a violent person who knows where
you live.
