Can you share your issue you are currently facing.
Are you using cloned MAC address?

@tr1k0N4 I have set up the onu
With vlan id with bridge mode.

Now I want to configure the router with openwrt wit pppoe connection where I have to clone the mac address of onu and enter username password.

Couldn't set up the connection.

@Sanemi yes I'm using cloned mac address of the onu.

@sayantan45 Cloned MAC won't work in most of the cases. You need to reset the MAC address by contacting the LCO or JTO of BSNL

@Sanemi I was using the same setup with tplinks frimware, where i have used the cloned MAC worked there.

@sayantan45 Remove VLAN tagging from OpenWrt settings. The connection between OpenWrt WAN and ONT's LAN port should be VLAN UNTAGGED.

It would be helpful if you can post your /etc/config/network or LuCI screenshot with the PPPoE Username and Password REDACTED.

Also BSNL seems to be using MAC Binding so your need to use the MAC address of the previous Router or the ONT that connected to BSNL PPPoE before. Otherwise you need to ask your LCO or local BSNL office to remove any existing MAC Binding for your account.
