Network Sites

A network site represents a particular office location that can be a main headquarters, a branch office, or a collection of buildings in a campus. Network sites typically have similar bandwidth and each site is then associated with a network region. The central site defined for the region is typically included as a site in the region because it is not done automatically.

Use the following steps to create a new network site:

1. Open the Lync Server 2010 Control Panel.

2. Click Network Configuration.

3. Click Site.

4. Click the New button.

5. Enter a Name for the site.

6. Enter a Description for the site.

7. Select a Region to associate the site with from the drop-down menu.

8. Bandwidth policy, location policy, and associated subnets can be added at a later time after those objects exist.

9. Press the Commit button.

Alternatively, a new network site can be created with the Lync Server Management Shell:

New-CSNetworkSite –NetworkSiteID <Site Name> -Description <Description of
site> -NetworkRegionID <Name of region to associate site with>
