The Edge Transport server is not currently available in Microsoft Exchange Server 2013. However, you can continue to use existing Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2010 Edge Transport servers that you have deployed in your perimeter network.

server and the Edge Transport server, which effectively bypasses
the Exchange 2013 Client Access server.
- You can subscribe an Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 Edge
Transport server to a standalone Exchange 2013 Mailbox server, or
to a server where the Mailbox server and the Client Access server
are installed on the same computer. You can't subscribe the Edge
Transport server to a standalone Exchange 2013 Client Access
server.
- You don't need to recreate the EdgeSync subscription when you
upgrade your existing Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 organization
to Exchange 2013. The procedures to deploy a new Exchange 2007 or
Exchange 2010 Edge Transport server in your Exchange 2013
organization are basically the same as in previous versions of
Exchange. However, any procedures that are performed on the Hub
Transport server are performed on the Mailbox server in Exchange
2013. The procedures are:
