can continue managing the stack. You may want to initialize the stack if it

CAUTION: Use great care when initializing the stack — it removes all
configuration information, including password and security information.

CAUTION: When initializing the stack, network loops may occur if you
have set up port trunks, resilient links, VLANs, or the Spanning Tree
Protocol. Before initializing the stack, ensure you have disconnected the
cabling for all standby or duplicate links.

The stack takes about 10 seconds to initialize. While the stack is
initializing, you cannot communicate with it.
