Create Network Inter-site Policies

A network inter-site policy defines bandwidth limitations between sites that have direct WAN links between them.

For more information, see the Communications Server Management Shell documentation for the following cmdlets:

New-CsNetworkInterSitePolicy
Get-CsNetworkInterSitePolicy
Set-CsNetworkInterSitePolicy
Remove-CsNetworkInterSitePolicy

Important:
A network inter-site policy is required only if there is a direct cross link between two network sites.

In the example topology North America region, there is a direct link between the Reno and Albuquerque sites. These two sites require an inter-site policy that applies an appropriate bandwidth policy profile. The example below applies the 20Mb_Link profile.

To create a network inter-site policy

Open Communications Server Management Shell.
Run the New-CsNetworkInterSitePolicy cmdlet to create network inter-site policies and apply an appropriate bandwidth policy profile for two sites that have a direct cross link. For example, run:
Copy Code
New-CsNetworkInterSitePolicy -InterNetworkSitePolicyID Reno_Albuquerque -NetworkSiteID1 Reno -NetworkSiteID2 Albuquerque -BWPolicyProfileID 20Mb_Link
Repeat step 2 as needed to create network inter-site policies for all network sites pairs that have a direct cross link.
