+ This value is referenced as this node's own entries listed in the `-initial-cluster` flag (Ex: `default=http://localhost:2380` or `default=http://localhost:2380,default=http://localhost:7001`). This needs to match the key used in the flag if you're using [static boostrapping](clustering.md#static).

##### -initial-cluster
+ Initial cluster configuration for bootstrapping.
+ default: "default=http://localhost:2380,default=http://localhost:7001"
+ The key is the value of the `-name` flag for each node provided. The default uses `default` for the key because this is the default for the `-name` flag.
##### -initial-cluster-state
+ Initial cluster state ("new" or "existing"). Set to `new` for all members present during initial static or DNS bootstrapping. If this option is set to `existing`, etcd will attempt to join the existing cluster. If the wrong value is set, etcd will attempt to start but fail safely.
