from the ifconfig man page. (FreeBSD 11 but I think it's in 10 too.)

    fib fib_number
              Specify interface FIB.  A FIB fib_number is assigned to all
              frames or packets received on that interface.  The FIB 
is not
              inherited, e.g., vlans or other sub-interfaces will use the
              default FIB (0) irrespective of the parent interface's 
FIB.  The
              kernel needs to be tuned to support more than the 
default FIB
              using the ROUTETABLES kernel configuration option, or the
              net.fibs tunable.

this can be simulated using ipfw setfib should you not have it in the 
release you are running.
