**NOTE**: Before live patching Virtual Routers (VRs), administrators must ensure that
60+
the global configuration parameter ``minreq.sysvmtemplate.version`` is set
61+
to the minimum supported VR template version.
62+
63+
For example, if the deployed Virtual Router template version is ``4.20.1``,
64+
set:
65+
66+
::
67+
68+
minreq.sysvmtemplate.version = 4.20.1
69+
70+
This ensures that live patching is only performed on Virtual Routers running
71+
template version ``4.20.1`` or later. Virtual Routers using older template
72+
versions must be upgraded before live patching is attempted.

With respect to VRs, a Network restart without cleanup is initiated to during live patching to ensure all rules

are re-applied.
