Configuring Protocol Addresses

Configuring Listener Protocol Addresses

The listener address you configured for in the TNSNAMES.ORA file or for an Oracle Names must also be configured in LISTENER.ORA. During installation, IPC and TCP/IP are configured in the LISTENER.ORA.

To configure a listener address:

Double-click on the Listeners folder.
Click on a listener. If a listener does not exist, select Create from the Edit menu or click on the "+" button to create a new LISTENER.ORA file. Enter a unique listener name in the Choose Listener Name dialog box.
Choose Listening Locations from the drop-down list box.
Click Add Address.

Choose the protocol and enter the requested protocol information:

Protocol
Parameter
Description
IPC

KEY

Identifies the server. Oracle Corporation recommends using the listener name.

Named Pipes

SERVER

Identifies the name of the server.

PIPE

Identifies the pipe name to use to connect to the server (the same PIPE keyword you specified on the server with Named Pipes). This name can be any name.

SPX

SERVICE

Defines the name of the TNS-based application on the network.

TCP/IP and TCP/IP with SSL
Note: Choosing the TCP/IP with SSL protocol configures a default implementation of SSL for this machine.

HOST

Identifies the host name of the server.

PORT

Identifies the listener port number.
1521 is the default listening port for client connections to a database service. In future release, this port number may change to the officially registered port number of 2483 for TCP/IP and 2484 for TCP/IP with SSL.
2481 is the recommended and officially registered listening port for client connections to the Java option using TCP/IP.
2482 is the recommended and officially registered listening port for client connections to the Java option using TCP/IP with SSL.
1575 is the default and officially registered listening port for an Oracle Names server using TCP/IP or TCP/IP with SSL.
1630 is the default and officially registered listening port for Oracle Connection Manager using TCP/IP.

Choose Net8 Client for typical client connections to database services, or choose IIOP Clients for client connection to the Java option. If IIOP Clients is chosen, ensure the protocol is TCP/IP on port 2481 or TCP/IP with SSL on port 2482.
Choose Save Network Configuration from the File menu to save changes to LISTENER.ORA in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin on UNIX or ORACLE_HOME\network\admin on Windows platforms, or choose Save As from the File menu to save under a different file name or path.
