What you mean with "the same range", same subnet?

ip address does not point to interfaces, interfaces has ip address

a route always need a network and an interface (you are omitting the
interface)

What I image after reading your mail, is something like this

 +-------+
 | Cisco |
 +-----+-+
       |if: x.x.x.x/?
       |
       |em0: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
     +-+-------+
     | FreeBSD |
     +-+-------+
       |em1: 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0
       |
       |
 +-----+--+
 | Switch |
 +--------+

But having 2 ip address of the same subnet, make no sense to me

you need to put more information (ip addresses)
