Yes - the VRRP should be a /32. Typical configuration looks like this: Router1:
ether1: 192.168.1.2/24 vrrp.ether1: 192.168.1.1/32 Router2: ether1: 192.168.1.3/24 vrrp.ether1: 192.168.1.1/32 Your VRRP interface (192.168.1.1/32) should be a /32, and it should be on the same subnet as your "physical" interfaces.
