Listener Address

Synopsis

The listener address section (or entry) defines a listener and the network addresses that it monitors. If you’re running Release 8.1 or higher, the listener address entry may take one of the following forms (the first form is the preferred form):

                     listener_name=
   (DESCRIPTION_LIST=
      (DESCRIPTION = address_description)
      [(DESCRIPTION = address_description)]
      ...
   )

listener_name=
   (DESCRIPTION = address_description)

address_description := (ADDRESS = address_data)
                          [(PROTOCOL_STACK=
                             (PRESENTATION = {TTC|GIOP})
                             (SESSION = {NS|RAW})
                           )]
                       )

address_data (TCP/IP) := 
   (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = {hostname | ip_address})(PORT = port_number)
address_data (IPC) := 
   (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = key_name)
address_data (SPX) := 
   (PROTOCOL = SPX)(SERVICE = spx_service_name)
address_data (Named Pipes) :=
   (PROTOCOL = NMP)(SERVER = server_name)(PIPE = pipe_name)

The DESCRIPTION and DESCRIPTION_LIST keywords were introduced in Release 8.1. If you’re running a release prior to 8.1, then use the following form with an ADDRESS_LIST keyword:

                     listener_name=
   (ADDRESS_LIST=
      (ADDRESS = address_data)
      [(ADDRESS = address_data)
      ...]
   )

Parameters

listener_name

The name that you want to give the listener.

DESCRIPTION_LIST

Encloses one or more DESCRIPTION entries. Use this when you want an Oracle8i listener to listen on more than one network address.

DESCRIPTION

Encloses an ADDRESS entry together with its related PROTOCOL entry.

address_description

Describes an address in terms of both the network protocol supported ...
