Openwrt configuration for connection to VDSL router in bridge mode

Good evening, if I ask my ISP to set their VDSL router in bridge mode, how should I configure my own router? I've seen many examples, but I'm afraid they were meant for dsl routers with installed openwrt.

Routers will be connected via ethernet. I think I need to do authentication on my router. Any working example for similiar VDSL connection? Provider is Telekom in Slovakia.

Here's info from their site for ADSL

aDSL connection
VPI 1
VCI 32
Protocol PPPoE
Encapsulation LLC alebo LLC/SNAP
Modulation ADSL2+ Multimode
Modulation ADSL G.DMT or ITU
Service category UBR
Band width Annex B
MTU 1492
VLAN ID for VDSL 2510

I guess the only parameter I need from the table for VDSL is VLAN ID?

Apart from configuration, do I need to install any packages?

Thank you.

EDIT: "I think I need to do authentication on my router" - I'm actually not sure whether this is true, because on other LTE router I have with bridged lte modem, all configuration is done on that LTE router. Any ideas?

See https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/isp-configurations for examples (and the guide at https://openwrt.ebilan.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=266 is also always worth keeping in mind). The stanzas not referring dsl0, but eth0 (or wan on DSA based configurations) generally apply to your case, e.g. (tagging with VID 7 in this case):

config interface 'wan'
        option proto 'pppoe'
        option ipv6 '1'
        option device 'eth0.7'
        option username 'user@example.com'
        option password 'pass'

Hello, thanks for info. I don't want to use IPv6, other than that I had idea what to use. I thought if anything else is needed like from https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/isp-configurations

config dsl 'dsl'
        option annex 'b'
        option ds_snr_offset '0'
        option firmware '/lib/modules/vr9-B-dsl.bin'
        option line_mode 'vdsl'
        option tone 'av'  

Or are these options to be configured on openwrt routers having dsl modem inside only?

On the current ISP router with dsl modem, I could see these:

Transmission mode VDSL2-17A Annex B
SNR (Down/Up) 12.8 / 26.0 dB
Attenuation (Down/Up) 13.0 / 17.5 dB

Thanks

That stanza only applies to lantiq devices with an integrated modem. Using external modems, those settings need to be done there, on the modem (using their management interface) - OpenWrt doesn't know about those, unless it's the modem itself.

Alright, so basically what I need to do it authentication and VLAN, is that correct?

Thanks @slh

Yes, what I've pasted above.
