Nimbostratusreverse proxy irule for Lync'13 setup - questions.
NimbostratusWhen I first started to deploy Lync I tried creating VIPs for everything and eventually, I gave up because of the number of ports and VIPs needed. I was hesitant to use the iApp but it made publish Lync through the BIG-IP out to the web a breeze. The iApp built into the version I was using didn't support 2013 but here on Dev Central there is a newer iApp that supports both 2010 and 2013 and it worked great for us. It was a very well written iApp that made the process of integrating it in with our BIG-IP seamless. I highly recommend trying it.
As for issue 2, I remember when I deployed Lync 2013 there were some configuration items related to load balancing, can't remember now if I had to configure them or not but in the Topology application is where you will find them.
newf5learnerI believe that the configuration I have done will be very similar to the iApp one. But not sure why its not working.- boneyard

there is a difference between very similar and similar. if you can run the iapp (possibly in different environment) and spot the differences. - The Lync iApp configures as many as 500 objects on BIG-IP. We absolutely recommend using the latest version of the iApp to deploy because it's very easy to miss something crucial. If you need a slightly different deployment, use the iApp and then disable strictness so you can make changes. Mike
- Brad_146558I agree, the latest Lync iApp and turning off strictness would be the best approach. Let us know how it a turns out.
