following scenarios:

Limitations

stacking master as the source does not make the standalone switch a stacking master. The
configuration cloned from a stacking master to the standalone switch is ignored by the
operating system.
ONIE to non-ONIE or non-ONIE
to ONIE cloning cannot be performed.
Clone application does not connect through VR-USER.
If the clone primary is started and
stopped, the configuration dirty bit is set.
