Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Repost: Which port does SQL*Net use?
Hello Everybody,
I copied the message again here.
My email address should be: fan.ho_at_alumni.ust.hk
Many thanks again.
Rgds., fan.
I am using SQL*Plus 3.3 to connect to Oracle 8.0.4 server on WinNT 4.0.
QUESTION:
Due to security reasons, the network traffic is restricted (through an IP
gateway emulated by a Linux server), and since I used to think that SQL*Net
is using
ports 1521 or 1526, I asked the network team to release traffic between
server ports 1521, 1526 and my PC ports 1024 and above.
However, this did not work. We finally need to open the traffic between server ports 1024 and above and my PC port 1024 and above.
INITIAL GUESS:
Is it that SQL*Net can be set to be dynamically binded? In UNIX, we see that
in /etc/services, the SQL*Net port is binded to 1521/1526, but I don't see
such an entry in any of our NT installations (maybe cos' for other
installations, we do not need to
import traffic restrictions).
Can anyone help?
Many many thanks.
Rgds.,
fan.
