I have a setup with the ethernet patchcord from CityFibre ONT going straight into a Linux server.
To create a NetworkManager connection for it, run
`nmcli con add con-name olilo type vlan dev YOUR_INTERFACE_NAME id 911 ipv4.method auto ipv6.method auto connection.autoconnect yes connection.autoconnect-retires 0`
or at least `nmcli con add con-name olilo type vlan dev YOUR_INTERFACE_NAME id 911`.
YOUR_INTERFACE_NAME is the physical interface name. E.g. eth0, eno1 and such.
IPv4 DHCP works straight away and gives you the actual public IP along with DNS servers addresses.
IPv6 currently doesn't work with NetworkManager - hopefully I'll get to the bottom of this, there's a discussion with the NM developers https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/work_items/1851 . I suspect on Olilo side the "managed" bit should be set to 1, not 0, in the router advertisements (ICMPv6 type=134), for NM to work. In any case, OpenWRT manages to do get IPv6 - address assignment on host and prefix delegation thing, I'll post about that here too.
