 Converting a single-stack cluster network to a dual-stack cluster network consists of creating patches and applying them to the cluster's network and infrastructure.
 
-If you need to add IPv6 Virtual IPs (VIPs) for API and Ingress services to an existing dual-stack-configured cluster, you need to patch only the cluster's infrastructure and not the cluster's network.

 [NOTE]
 ====
 Each patch operation that changes `clusterNetwork`, `serviceNetwork`, `apiServerInternalIPs`, and `ingressIP` objects triggers a restart of the cluster. Changing the `MachineNetworks` object does not cause a reboot of the cluster.

+====
+If you already upgraded your cluster to {product-title} 4.16 or later and you need to convert the single-stack cluster network to a dual-stack cluster network, you must specify an existing IPv4 `machineNetwork` network configuration from the `install-config.yaml` file for API and Ingress services in the YAML configuration patch file. This configuration ensures that IPv4 traffic exists in the same network interface as the default gateway.
