Deployment Guide Deploying Microsoft Of fice Live Communications Server 2005 and the F5 BIG-IP L TM System v9.
1 Introducing the BIG-IP and Live Communications Server 2005 Enterprise Edition configuration Microsoft® and F5 have collaborated on a highly effective way to intelligently direct traffic for Microsoft Office Live Commun ications Server 2005 Enterprise Edit ion with the F5 BIG-IP® appli cation traffic management device.
Deploying Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 and th e F5 BIG-IP LTM System v9 BIG-IP® Deployment Guide 2 Configuration example The Live Communications Server 2005 Enterprise Edition introduces the concept of a pool. Multiple Li ve Communications Se rvers communicate with a single back-end SQL Serv er (or cluster of servers).
3 Configuring the BIG-IP and Live Communications Server for deployment To configure the BIG-IP and Live Communications Server for integ ration, you need to com plete the following procedures: • Conn.

17 Using Access Proxy and Director with the BIG-IP LTM system for remote access The Live Communications Server 2005 produ ct allows the network of an organization to federate (peer) with other Li ve Communications Server-enabled networks for core presence and instant messaging.
Deploying Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 and th e F5 BIG-IP LTM System v9 BIG-IP® Deployment Guide 18 WA R N I N G There are a wide variety of ways to deploy the BIG-IP LTM system with Access Proxy and Director devices , and the configurati on depends on your network configuration.
19 Configuration example In this configurati on, th ere are BIG-IP devices on both s ides of the array of Access Proxy devices, to direct traffic for inbound and outbound traffic.
Deploying Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 and th e F5 BIG-IP LTM System v9 BIG-IP® Deployment Guide 20 Prerequisites The following are prerequisites to the Access Proxy configuration.
21 • Creating the self IP on the outsid e BIG-IP LTM system • Configuring a health monit or • Creating a pool for the Access Proxy d e vices on the outside BIG-IP LTM system • Creating the TCP.
Deploying Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 and th e F5 BIG-IP LTM System v9 BIG-IP® Deployment Guide 22 Configuring a health monitor The next step in this configuration is to configure a health moni tor on the BIG-IP LTM system for the Access Proxy devices.
23 6. The other fields in the Config uration section are o ptional. Configure these fields as applicable for your network. (For additional information about configuri ng a pool, click the Help button.
