If no target is specified, certain hypervisors will automatically
generate a name for the created tun device. This name can be manually
specifed, however the name <i>must not start with either 'vnet' or
'vif'</i>, which are prefixes reserved by libvirt and certain
hypervisors. Manually specified targets using these prefixes will be
ignored.
