Creating Network Subnets

Network subnets in Lync Server 2013 are the glue that binds a client connection to a specific network site and region. When a Lync client signs in, its network address is delivered to the server, which then associates the client to a network site and region based on the subnet.

Follow these steps to create a new network site:

1. Open the Lync Server 2013 Control Panel.

2. Click Network Configuration.

3. Click Subnet.

4. Click the New button.

5. Enter a Subnet ID that is the actual network IP address.

6. Enter a Mask for the subnet. This value is the number of bits used for the subnet mask. For example, if the subnet uses a 255.255.255.0 mask, enter 24 for this value.

7. Select a Network Site ID to associate with the subnet.

8. Enter a Description for the subnet.

9. Click Commit.

Alternatively, a new network site can be created with the Lync Server Management Shell through the New-CsNetworkSubnet cmdlet.

Tip

Do not summarize network subnets in this section. Instead, enter the network address for each individual subnet at a particular site. Call Admission Control supports summarization, but Media Bypass does not. To support both features, the Subnet ID entered on this screen should always be the network address of the subnet. This is because the Lync client will apply its own local subnet mask to its IP address before sending its network address to the server.
