2.7 Exchange Client Access Roles – RPC
Exchange RPC access offers end users with Microsoft Outlook access to their mailboxes via the native
Microsoft Outlook Messaging API (MAPI) protocol.
AX provides the following benets:
• Load Balancing and High Availability of Exchange RPC servers
Technical Note:
Outlook using the MAPI protocol contacts the Exchange server via TCP port 135 rst and then opens
a dynamic port between 1024 and 65535. Since by default any dynamic port number can be used, this
requires a wildcard VIP on the AX that listens on all TCP ports. This is the conguration shown below.
For security reasons, it is possible and recommended by Microsoft to specify the dynamic port Outlook
will open; see the following:
• http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625248.aspx#ipports
• http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/planning-architecture/uncov-
ering-new-rpc-client-access-service-exchange-2010-part2.html
If you limit the dynamic ports for MAPI, you can limit the ports open on AX via an ACL.
2.7.1 AX Conguraon
a. Create Exchange RPC Real Servers
• Create a real server for each Exchange RPC real server. Enter the RPC Name and IP address,
and add Protocol TCP port 0 with no Health Monitor
◦ Via Web GUI: Cong Mode > Service > SLB > Server
◦ Via CLI: AX(cong)#slb server Exchange1 10.0.2.161
AX(cong-real server)#port 0 tcp
AX(cong-real server-node port)#no health-check
