It's because you didn't specify the gateway. You have to write:
route add -net 127 <gateway>
But I don't why you want to add net 127.0.0.0 since it's reserved
for the loopback interface. If you just want to add the loopback
route, you should do the following instead:
route add 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
or
route add -host 127.1 127.1
