hi,

you can use .

show flash

Use the show flash command to list bootflash or Flash PC card information, including file code names, version numbers, volume ID, and sizes.

show flash [[m/]device:] [all | chips | filesys]

Syntax Description

all

Hi Miguel

You could run the command "show tech-support" and look for the "----- show flash: all -----" section or the command "show flash: summary" which will give you just the line you are interested in.

This is from a 2500 router I have in work

------------------ show flash: all ------------------

Partition Size Used Free Bank-Size State Copy Mode

1 16384K 7836K 8547K 8192K Read ONLY RXBOOT-FLH

If you see "size" = to 8192K and "Bank-size" = 8192K then you have 1 x 8mb Flash SIMM. However if you have a "Bank-size" of 4096K then you have 2 x 4mb Flash SIMMS.

HTH
