Yes, "name" enables me to create the tunnel, things do get trickier when I'm trying to bring the tunnel device up: # ip link set dev hel up Usage: ip link add [link DEV] [ name ] NAME [snip] # ip link set dev name hel up Usage: ip link add [link DEV] [ name ] NAME [snip] Adding an address to the tunnel device on the other hand: ip addr add 2001:db8:a:a::2/64 dev hel is no issue.
