Updated IP ranges and ports for Skype for Business Online
We heard from some of our customers recently, that the number of IP ranges and ports required for Skype for Business make it complex to configure firewalls. To address this feedback, Microsoft decided to perform several optimizations to simplify the requirements.
Skype for Business Online has a significant infrastructure, so while we have started with these changes, it will take some time to be completed. We strongly recommend to open the IP subnets and ports today, to avoid any negative impact to connectivity.
Please note that the complete list of IP ranges and ports can be found at Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges.The changes to the IP and port ranges were added in August, but now is a great time to go back and review your firewall and other security devices to ensure they are being allowed as we move ahead with the deployment.
Note: Though the plan is to move to these new smaller ranges, it’s possible due to the requirements for growth in the environment that the team may add new IP addresses outside of the current ranges before the consolidation is complete.
