joins the stack by issuing the show switch command. The new switch must join as a
member (not as master; the existing master of the stack must not change).

Switch Stack Configuration Files
The configuration files include all global and interface-specific settings that define the
operation of the stack and its individual members. If you issue the save config command,
all stack members store a copy of the configuration settings. If a stack master becomes
unavailable, the stack member that assumes the role of stack master operates from the
saved configuration files.

When a new, out-of-box switch joins a switch stack, the switch uses the system-level settings

You can back up and restore the stack configuration by using the copy command in the
