Lync Topology for Small/Pilot Lync Implementation: Servers, Firewall Ports, Using Single Edge IP

I keep getting requests for how a very simple, small Lync topology should/could look like. In the interest of not answering each request separately I’ll post a quick design of what a small solution could look like.

Please remember a couple things about this design:

• Number 1 goal is to be minimal
• It is not resilient
• In goal of minimal it may break Microsoft supported (I’m thinking of not reverse proxy)

 

Below is what topology builder looks like for the Edge on the above design:
