Ports opened by Listener in Linux RH9 and Orale 9.2.0.1.0

hi, one little question:

Why the listener open the 8080 and 2100 ports on Linux?

i was thinking that the only used port was 1521.

thanks

listerner uses port you defined in your listener.ora file.
It can be non-1521, like 1525.

yes i know that.

Port number 1521 is th default port, but additional to that, i saw that ports 8080 and 2100 are opened by the listener too.

this is a part of the output of netstat -lntp of my Linux:

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5594/tnslsnr
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1521 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5594/tnslsnr
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2100 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5594/tnslsnr

there is 8080 and 2100 ports too.

the question was why that other ports are opened?

thanks

Hi.

These are used by XMLDB.

8080 - HTML access to the XMLDB repository.
2100 - FTP access to the XMLDB repository.
