You'd need a switch between TWTC and your vyatta pair. Is your /28
routed behind a /30 from TWTC or are they routing the 28 for you and
you're NATing to your inside hosts? If the /28 is physically behind
your vyatta, and you have a /30 out front, you'll need a /29 or
larger to be able to do VRRP (one ip for each router + the VIP).
I can't help you on the step-by-step, as I've never done VRRP on
Vyatta. You might want to read through chapter 11 of the
configuration guide, as it deals with VRRP.

I have a couple of questions that I am not grasping the concept on
completely
First summarizing, If i am understanding, I can setup vyatta on
two computers, and use one as a primary router
and the other as the backup and come on line automatcally if the
primary goes down. using VRRP
If my summarization is correct here are the questions
1. Is there a step to step configuration to do this, and if so
someone point me to it?
Summary on Question 2
My Upstream provider (Time Warner) now feeds me 28 ips which I
have configured in vyatta and routing in and out just fine to the
servers, and work stations on the otherside of vyatta througha
second ethernet card
2. Time Warner goes straight from their switch via cat 5 to
ethernet interface on the Pri-Vyatta How do I get
cat 5 to the second (Backup router) do I put ina small hub and
branch off between the two?
Thanks for any helpful pointers here
