Deploying a Load-Balanced Edge Server Pool

To deploy a load balanced Edge Server Pool, follow these steps:

1. Select Multiple Computer Pool, and click Next.

2. If a single public IP address will be used for the Access Edge, Web Conferencing Edge, and A/V Edge services, check the box Use a Single FQDN and IP Address. This requires using ports other than 443 for two of the services.

3. If federation will be used, check the Enable Federation box.

4. If XMPP federation will be used, check the Enable XMPP Federation box, and then click Next.

5. Check valid IP options as they relate to your deployment. If your deployment is using IPv6, check the IPv6 boxes for the internal and external interface. If not, ensure that only the IPv4 boxes are checked.

6. If the IP address used for the A/V Edge uses NAT, check the box The External IP Address of This Edge Pool Is Translated by NAT. Click Next when complete.

7. Under the Access Edge Service section, enter the external FQDN and port. Typically, this is similar to sip.companyabc.com and port 443.

Note

If you elected to use a single FQDN and IP address for your public edge services, you will be permitted to enter only a single FQDN, and the default ports will be set to 5061, 444, and 443.

8. Under the Web Conferencing Edge Service section, enter the external server FQDN and port. Typically, the name and port are similar to webconf.companyabc.com and port 443.

9. Under the A/V Edge Service section, enter the external server FQDN and port. Typically, the name and port are similar to av.companyabc.com and port 443. Click Next when complete.

10. Define each server in the Edge Server Pool. Click Add.

11. Enter the internal IP Address of the Edge Server and the Internal Server FQDN, and click Next.

Note

Each member of the Edge Server pool must have a unique external IP address for each public service, as well as a unique internal IP address. Your load-balancing method will distribute traffic to each member on the designated IP addresses. In the wizard, make sure you are entering the IP addresses assigned to the pool member, not that of the pool.

12. Under the Access Edge Service section, enter the external IP address assigned to the Edge Server.

13. Under the Web Conferencing Edge Service section, enter the external IP address assigned to the Edge Server.

14. Under the A/V Edge Service section, enter the external IP address assigned to the Edge Server, and click Finish.

15. Repeat the previous steps for each pool member and then click Next.

16. Select a next-hop pool to be used by the Edge Server pool and click Next. If a director is deployed, you should select the director as the next-hop.

17. Select any Front End Server pools or Mediation Server pools that will use this Edge Server pool for external media traffic. Click Finish to complete the wizard.
