All snooping statistics are generated on the stack master. If a new stack master is elected, the statistics counters
reset.
When a stack merge occurs, all DHCP snooping bindings in the stack master are lost if it is no longer the
stack master. With a stack partition, the existing stack master is unchanged, and the bindings belonging to the
partitioned switches age out. The new master of the partitioned stack begins processing the new incoming
DHCP packets.
