How to set ip address on zerotier's interface manually.

hi, community.
I would like to set ip addr on zerotier's interface manually. so
zerotier-cli set <network-id> allowmanaged=0
rc.conf
Code: 
zerotier_enable="YES"
ifconfig_ztxxxxx="inet 172.16.0.1/16"
but reboot the machine didn't assign the ip to the zerotier's interface correctly.

any idea to fix it?
 
You have to use the ZeroTier web interface (the controller) to set the IP address. Initially one is automatically assigned, but you can change it.
 
Hello. What about the interface name?
ifconfig_ztxxxxx, seens that the xxxx.... is random for each network you create,
there is no way to preview what this name will be before entering the network, right?
So if I want to say something like in my rc.conf:
ifconfig_ztxxxxx="ztlan"

It will work?
I should insert that after "zerotier_enable"?
It will be any issues if the interface dosent exists before that line be loaded?
It would be better to place that in rc.local so I can ensure the interface is up, like I do with wireguard:

rc.local:
/usr/local/bin/wg-quick up wg0


I would also place
rc.local:
/usr/local/bin/wg-quick up wg0
ifconfig_ztxxxxx="ztlan"

?
