 ## Initial configuration, and enacting membership changes
 
 Currently Raft-based consensus requires that all _initial_ nodes in the cluster are configured to list the others up-front as [static peers](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Connecting-to-the-network#static-nodes). These enode ID URIs _must_ include a `raftport` querystring parameter specifying the raft port for each peer: e.g. `enode://[email protected]:30400?raftport=50400`. Note that the order of the enodes in the `static-nodes.json` file needs to be the same across all peers.
