Your Edge Server can be configured to use a single IP address with distinct ports for each service, or it can use distinct IP addresses for each service, but use the same default port (which by default will be TCP 443).
What is an Edge server?
Edge servers refers to servers (compute resources) that run the processing at an edge location, which can be anywhere along the edge spectrum – usually from on-premises edge to regional edge.
Is port 80 still used?
Port 80 is one of the most commonly used port numbers in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) suite. Any Web/HTTP client, such as a Web browser, uses port 80 to send and receive requested Web pages from a HTTP server.
What ports does the Lync access edge service use?
The Edge Server’s Access Edge Service will utilize port 80 for outbound requests so that the Edge Server can perform basic certificate revocation checks. This is more of a Windows Server related behavior than the Lync Access Edge service itself, but is important to support TLS communications with other federated partners.
Do I need a Lync director server if I have edge?
The only role the Edge server plays in terms of Mobility is that it is used for establishing Push Notification communications via Federation services. A Lync Director server is not a required server, even when an Edge server is deployed.
Can I use peer-to-peer communication with Lync Server?
By design, peer-to-peer communication (as well as multi-party IM) is possible only when Lync Server and the IMMCU is active and available. Windows Firewall must be running before you start the Lync Server services on a server, because that is when Lync Server opens the required ports in the firewall.
What port does Lync use for remote call control?
Although Lync Server no longer uses TCP port 5060, during remote call control deployment you create a trusted server configuration, which associates the RCC Line Server FQDN with the TCP port that the Front End Server or Director will use to connect to the PBX system.
