Lync Edge server integraion :Public IP
Hi,
I am doing Lync implemantation with the F5.
My WAN link will be terminate on the Fortigate firewall, and doing nating with the private IP. i.e if we have three public ip we will nat one to one with the 3 private ip.
But as per F5 and Microsoft documentation, we require 9 public ip for the Edge server. I have attached my topology design for F5 implementation. Need your advice for the same.
“Each Lync Edge server should have a unique publicly routable IP address for each of the three Edge services (Access, A/V, and Web Conferencing) in addition to one unique public IP address for each service’s BIG-IP virtual server. If you are deploying two Edge servers, you would need 9 publicly routable IP addresses”
Excerpt from Microsoft Edge Server deployment guide :
Lync Server 2010 Scaled Consolidated Edge (hardware load balanced) Requires three public IP address for load balancer virtual IP addresses (one time requirement that does not increment as more Edge Servers are added to the pool) plus three public IP addresses per Edge Server in a pool.
