You don't need them for this box. Your Mitrastar router stays where it is and essentially becomes a bridge.
You need to establish PPPoE connection over this bridge and it requires at least user/password. Details on L2 (VLAN numbers etc) are also provider dependent. Even if equipment is capable of working in bridge mode, details how to setup ONT itself and how to use it to actually establish connection are not there. This is exactly the same situation as with most providers here. You get zero support if you deviate from the default setup. Not because they are evil, but because they do not want to invest in supporting it (and it *does* require resources and hence money) and so nobody knows how to set it up and even less - how to troubleshoot it. Actually, private customers get zero guarantees about anything - at most you could try to get refund for the period of total outage.
Exactly. Apparently the trick is to bridge only the ppp0.1 interface, leaving voip0.2 and voip0.3 <https://comunidad.movistar.es/t5/Soporte-Fibra-y-ADSL/HGU-MitraStar-GPT-2541GNAC-modo-bridge/td-p/2900709> But I found reports that setting my router in bridge mode makes it fail for phone service (see post "Telefonica router in bridge mode: no way in hell!" for references. <https://foros.3dgames.com.ar/threads/1044033-problema-con-el-telefono-al-poner-el-router-en-modo-bridge> I found also references saying that TV service gets disrupted or problematic. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
