Using any syscall needs thinking through from inside VPP. Using system() or similar is simply ill-advised; what you’re doing is best done outside of VPP where the penalty of executing fork() is much diminished.
If you really must create these interfaces from inside VPP then I suggest you look up the netlink ABI in Linux, which is what the ‘ip’ program uses, and program it directly. Chris.
