The best thing I've found to do is to give the load useful names,
so when I do a "show flash" you can readily tell what's there. For
example,
gwdlp1>show flash
4096K bytes of flash memory on MC+ card (via MCI).
Contains:
/cisco/gs3-k.91-2.1 (1348032)
/cisco/gs3-k.91-1.5 (1341168)

gwdlp1>
The alternative is give them symbolic names, but remember what they
map to. For example,
gwdlp1>show flash
4096K bytes of flash memory on MC+ card (via MCI).
Contains:
/cisco/test-9.1 (1348032)
/cisco/production-9.1 (1341168)
[1504912/4194304 bytes free]
gwdlp1>
This is really what our routers hold, and we remember that the
loads map as shown above. This has the advantage that we don't have
to change names all the time in assorted config files :-). It also
has the disadvantage that you can't readily tell what the load is,
as in the first example, except by mapping the load size on the tftp
server to the load.
Hope this helps,
Henry
