Next I will choose the last option which says that the Edge pool is translated by NAT. For production it's recommended to use 3 public IP addresses for Access Edge, AV and WebConf services. I am intending to use a single Public IP address with a different ports (nonstandard) since this is a lab.

Next, you will have to choose if you want to enable federation with partners or other service providers …e.g. I will add the first Edge pool which contains of a single Edge server Now I will go back to Skype for Business FE server, I'll launch the topology builder and add new Edge server but still it must be able to ping to the FE from Edge and vice versa.ĭMZ network can have 1 DMZ address (Public Address to be NATTED to) or 3 DMZ addresses for public IP addresses with standard HTTPS ports.Įdit the Edge server's host file to include Lync FE and DC's IP addresses and Hostname In order to configure Skype 4 Business Edge, we'll have to change the Netbios to give it the name of our Domain but we won't join it to the domain.Įdge Server must have 2 NICs, one Local NIC will point out to the Front end server but must not have Default gateway so traffic can only flow through the DMZ out to the internet and back in.


in this article I am going to install Edge server for Skype for Business to the same Lync Environment where I have done the Upgrade to Skype for Business. In the last Skype for Business post I have upgraded my Lync 2013 to Skype for Business (Click here to go to that post).
