My first web search led me to:

$ sudo nmcli conn add \
    type dummy \
    ifname ospf-lo \
    ipv4.method manual \
    ipv4.address 10.0.0.1/32 \
    ipv6.method disable
Connection 'dummy-ospf-lo' (c21bdb21-375f-484b-9c7e-4d088c139fc3) successfully added.
$ ip a sh dev ospf-lo
6: ospf-lo: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 42:39:23:bd:ab:e1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.0.0.1/32 scope global noprefixroute ospf-lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Thanks,
