Add max MTU 1500 over EWAN

I use an 8800NL R2 which is connected to a Vigor 130 via the EWAN port.
The Vigor supports baby jumbo frames and has a max MTU of 1520.
I would like to set the MTU of the 8800NL R2 EWAN port to 1500, it can only offer max 1492 at the moment.

Thanks!

What i have read about this is that, 8800NL R2 doesn't support Baby Jumbo frames when tested in bridge mode.
