The rs.initiate() method has the following parameter:

Parameter	Type	Description
`configuration`	document	Optional. A document that specifies configuration settings for the new replica set. If a configuration is not specified, MongoDB uses a default configuration.

The rs.initiate() method provides a wrapper around the “replSetInitiate” database command.
