route add to link#1?

[BlueCoder]

I'm playing around with my routing table. How can I reproduce with a route command this from netstat:

2001:470:c:ae1:1234:1234:1234:1234 link#1                        UHS         lo0

That route is added automatically by ifconfig(8) when the address is bound to the interface. It should be read as "to reach address 2001:470:c:ae1:1234:1234:1234:1234 use link#1 from the interface table and use interface lo0 to find out which address to use as the source address".

Can it be reproduced manually with a route add command such that netstat is the same?

I'm not sure because adding such route without binding the address to the interface at the same time doesn't quite make sense...

I'm deleting and restoring routes to compare results. I have to reboot just to restore the state of the table?
