I do not understand why the tap0 profile is listed as DOWN. (# ip link set dev tap0 up does nothing more)
it's not down. it's UP, only NO-CARRIER. but for a tap device you also need a user-space program to handle it. what do you want to accomplish? do you perhaps need a veth device?

Actually, there was a "state DOWN" in the full command output, which is what matters. -- jlk
