Managing network region routes in Skype for Business Server
A network region route defines the route between a pair of network regions. Each pair of network regions in your call admission control deployment requires a network region route. This enables every network region within the deployment to access every other region. Use the procedures in this artilce to view, create, modify, or delete network region routes.
View network region route information
Every region within a call admission control (CAC) configuration must have some way to access every other region. While region links set bandwidth limitations on the connections between regions and also represent the physical links, a route determines which linked path the connection will traverse from one region to another. Use the following procedures to view existing network region routes in Skype for Business Server Control Panel or Skype for Business Server Management Shell.
To view network region route information in Skype for Business Server Control Panel
From a user account that is a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group (or has equivalent user rights), or is assigned to the CsAdministrator role, log on to any computer in your internal deployment.
Open a browser window, and then enter the Admin URL to open the Skype for Business Server Control Panel.
In the left navigation bar, click Network Configuration, and then click Region Route.
On the Region Route page, click the region route that you want to view.
Note
You can only view one region route at a time.
On the Edit menu, click Show details.
Viewing Network Region Route Information by Using Windows PowerShell Cmdlets
Network region route information can be viewed by using Windows PowerShell and the Get-CsNetworkInterRegionRoute cmdlet. This cmdlet can be run either from the Skype for Business Server Management Shell or from a remote session of Windows PowerShell.
To view network region route information
To view information about all your network region routes, type the following command in the Skype for Business Server Management Shell, and then press ENTER:
Get-CsNetworkInterRegionRoute
That will return information similar to this:
Identity : TransAmericaRoute
NetworkRegionLinks : {NorthwestToNortheast}
InterNetworkRegionRouteID : TransAmericaRoute
NetworkRegionID1 : Pacific Northwest
NetworkRegionID2 : Northeast
For more information, see the help topic for the Get-CsNetworkInterRegionRoute cmdlet.
