Can you run MPLS int. and ATM int. on same 3845?

[dengelken]

I have a 3845 router which has two separate DS-3 network modules installed. I want to configure one module for our ATM network and the other for a separate MPLS network. The ATM DS-3 is 20mb frac, while the MPLS will be a 40mb frac. My question, is this possible and does anyone know of any documentation that might come in helpful when doing so? Any ideas are appreciated.

Yes you can do it. Are you looking for configuration guides?

A 3845 is targeted for a single DS3 circuit.

Multiple DS3 circuits should be run on a 7200, next step up..

Edison-

Looking at the datasheet, it shows the 3845 can support 2. Anywhere we have multiple T3s they just happen to be in 7200s, but it looks like the 3845 will support a pair of them.

Collin,

That's what kills me about these datasheets - different business units - different information.

My information came from internal document but this document is pretty much identical from what I have:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6557/prod_white_paper0900aecd8051fbdc.html

Table 2.

I also looked in the 3800 series datasheet and the only information from T3/DS3:

"Built for performance, these routers deliver multiple concurrent services up to wire-speed T3/E3 rates."

Never said multiple T3s.

The router comparison says the same thing:

Up to the original poster to run it as he wishes..

I never liked those marketing types

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, I can't get the $$ for a 7200, and we currently have a 3845 in production. Any kind of config guides/examples would be great.
