If you're using systemd, you can set it up with systemd.network in 
/etc/systemd/network. I do this on my router. However I was unable to get my 
IPv6 6rd tunnel working this way. For IPv4 DHCP or static it works fine.

man ip (relatively minimal, but not as minimal as ip --help)

https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-ip-command-examples-usage-syntax/ is in my 
bookmarks

bash-completion comes with ip command support.

My script to set up my IPv6 6rd tunnel on my router:

ip tunnel del sit-6rd
ip tunnel add sit-6rd mode sit local "$IPV4_ADDR" ttl 64 dev enp1s0f0
ip tunnel 6rd dev sit-6rd 6rd-prefix 2602::/24

ip link set sit-6rd mtu 1480
ip link set sit-6rd up

ip -6 addr add "$IPV6_ADDR" dev sit-6rd
ip -6 route add 2000::/3 via "::$IPV4_BR_ADDR"
ip -6 route add default via "::$IPV4_BR_ADDR"
