Microsoft Lync Server 2010 has a potentially complex set of firewall rules. The Planning Tool eases this complexity by outputting a report that defines in detail all firewall requirements, based on the designer’s input criteria. The IT firewall administrator will be able to use this report to configure and define the necessary rules.

From the standpoint of firewall management, the report should be carefully reviewed to ensure that there are no conflicts with exiting firewall rules, or that there are no policies or procedures that might be violated.
