Oracle Database enables you to manage your network configuration with the following tools:
Net Configuration Assistant
During a typical database installation, Net Configuration Assistant automatically configures a listener called LISTENER
that has a TCP/IP listening protocol address for the database. If you do a custom installation, then Net Configuration Assistant prompts you to configure a listener name and protocol address of your choice.
Use Net Configuration Assistant for initial network configuration after database installation. Thereafter, you can use Oracle Net Manager to configure and administer your networks.
Oracle Net Manager
Oracle Net Manager provides various network configuration features, including the ability to configure profiles.
Note:
On Microsoft Windows operating systems only, if a non-administrator, low privileged Windows User Account was specified as the Oracle Home User during database installation, you are prompted for the Oracle Home User password when you access the Net Configuration Assistant and Oracle Net Manager.
