Name
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) ...] )
