Here are some good links to help understand the 4000 series routers.
Cisco 4000 Series Router Architecture

As a side note you should be okay with only 4megs of bootflash. The
12.2T boot image is about 3 megs.

Subject: Router question
Hello Group,
I want to beef up my 4500M+ to 16MB Flash so I can run 12.2 code on
it...
Under the "show version" (as below), I see 2 different flash:
4096K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)
4096K bytes of processor board Boot flash (Read/Write)
How does the 4500M+ works? Does it mean that I will need to have both
the
System Flash & Boot Flash up to 16MB? If so, does anyone where I can
find
some?
And if I need to find them, are they just called?
4500M System Flash
AND
4500M Boot Flash
Thanks so much for the help in advance,
Regards,
Hunt
