Creates a link between two regions configured for call admission control (CAC).

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

XdsGlobalRelativeIdentity

A unique identifier for the newly-created network region link. Network region links are created only at the global scope, so this identifier does not need to specify a scope. Instead, it contains a string that is a unique name that identifies that link.

NetworkRegionID1

Required

String

The Identity (NetworkRegionID) of the region that is linked to the region identified by the NetworkRegionID2 parameter.

NetworkRegionID2

Required

String

The Identity (NetworkRegionID) of the region that is linked to the region identified by the NetworkRegionID1 parameter.

NetworkRegionLinkID

Required

String

This value is the same as the Identity. You cannot specify both an Identity and a NetworkRegionLinkID; a value entered for one will be automatically used for both.

BWPolicyProfileID

Optional

String

The Identity of the bandwidth policy profile that will define the limitations for this link. You can retrieve a list of available profiles by calling the Get-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile cmdlet.

Confirm

Optional

SwitchParameter

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

InMemory

Optional

SwitchParameter

Creates an object reference without actually committing the object as a permanent change. If you assign the output of this cmdlet called with this parameter to a variable, you can make changes to the properties of the object reference and then commit those changes by calling this cmdlet’s matching Set- cmdlet.

WhatIf

Optional

SwitchParameter

Describes what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.

Detailed Description

Regions within a network are linked through physical WAN connectivity. This cmdlet defines a link between two regions and sets the bandwidth limitations on audio and video connections between these regions.

Return Types

This cmdlet creates an object of type Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.NetworkConfiguration.NetworkRegionLinkType.

Examples

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

Copy Code
New-CsNetworkRegionLink -Identity NA_EMEA -NetworkRegionID1 NorthAmerica -NetworkRegionID2 EMEA -BWPolicyProfileID LowBWLimits

This example creates a new network region link named NA_EMEA to link the regions NorthAmerica and EMEA. The region link name is specified as the value for the Identity parameter. (This will automatically be assigned as the value of the NetworkRegionLinkID.) The two network regions being linked are required parameters for creating the link, in this case the regions named NorthAmerica and EMEA. In this example we’ve also assigned a value to the BWPolicyProfile parameter. This will assign the bandwidth limitations defined in that bandwidth policy profile (LowBWLimits) to connections between these regions. If no BWPolicyProfileID is supplied, there are no bandwidth limitations on connections between these two regions. (There could still be limitations between sites: see New-CsNetworkSite.)
