Applies to:: Skype for Business Online

As an Admin, you can use the Windows PowerShell command, New-CsTenantNetworkRegion to define network regions. A network region interconnects various parts of a network across multiple geographic areas. The RegionID parameter is a logical name that represents the geography of the region, and has no dependencies or restrictions. Tenant network region is used for Location Based Routing.

Description

Location-Based Routing leverages the same network regions, sites, and subnets concept that is available in Skype for Business Server. A network region contains a collection of network sites. For example, if your organization has many sites located in Redmond, then you may choose to designate "Redmond" as a network region.

Examples

-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------

PS C:\> New-CsTenantNetworkRegion -NetworkRegionID "RegionA"

The command shown in Example 1 created the network region 'RegionA' with no description. Identity and CentralSite will both be set identical with NetworkRegionID.

Previously in Skype for Business there was an additional required parameter -CentralSite <site ID>, however it is now optional.

-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------

PS C:\> New-CsTenantNetworkRegion -NetworkRegionID "RegionRedmond" -Description "Redmond region" -CentralSite "Central site 1"

The command shown in Example 2 created the network region 'RegionRedmond' with description 'Redmond region'. CentralSite is set to "Central site 1".
