Hi Ari,

This has been covered several other times in other post like:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/90902fa9-a0a9-4063-9ddb-a799a3e75e01/edge-deployment-by-one-public-ip-address?forum=ocsedge

Short story, you can publish an Edge server with a single public IP (many blogs like http://terenceluk.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/should-i-use-use-single-fqdn-ip-address.html cover this).

Heartily NOT recommended but possible (be sure you understand the pros and cons).

In order to publish Lync web services through TMG you will need one more public IP. 

You -may- be able to publish both Edge and Reverse Proxy through a Kemp VLM and using advanced configuration through ESP (i haven't tested personally: check http://unifiedme.co.uk/2014/03/configuring-kemp-reverse-proxy-lync-exchange-server/)

Hi,you define that in Lync topology.You will then be left with 1 name,so most common is sip.domain.com.

TMG you can setup a reverse proxy (for mobility)

Public name it should listen for is: 

  • sip.domain.com
  • Lyncdiscover.domain.com (external web access defined in Lync frontend)
  • meet.domain.com
  • scheduler.domain.com (this one is optional)

Like Alessio mentioned,be aware of pros and cons.Mostly this is used for lab environment and not for business with many users.

Hi ari,

 

Actually, you can use only one Public IP for both Edge server and TMG 2010 server. By using TMG, you can use one Web Listener for more services, it means you can reuse the same port to provide one more services (e.g. Lync and Exchange Autodiscover).

And with 1 Public IP, you have to use different port for the Edge services.


(Note: port 443 is used for Autodiscover)

 

Best regards,

Eric

Hi Eric,

thanks for your response, in my configuration i was using multiple FQDN and different port like your capture above. but, unfortunately i still can't configure edge server properly. when i am trying to add external organizations contact they still apperance "presence unknown".

i dont know how to trace my error configuration. i think it has already configure nicely with the services has already up as well.

do you have any valid ref link to configure edge ?

i still have worried about how to configure add new record for _sipfederationtls pointing to edge server.

im refer to this link for configuring my lync server. could you validate is this right article to follow ?
