Hi we have metro ethernet as our WAN provider and requiring as to have 2 VLANs. How are we going to configure 2 VLANs in one physical port, one is i guess primary and one is backup. Appreciate the response thanks.

I'm not sure I fully understand your requirement. I'm assuming that your router connects to their switch. If they've asked you to configure two vlans, you'd simply create two subinterfaces on the interface that connects to their switch and tag it:
int fa0/0
no ip address
int fa0/0.1520
encaps dot1q 1520
ip address
int fa0/0.2222
encaps dot1q 2222
ip address
Is this what you're looking for? I must say though, providing two vlans on a single cable isn't going to provide redundancy for your equipment.
HTH,
John
