Disable default listener

edited Jan 7, 2016 10:03AM in Database Networking (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

Hello community,

I use non-default listener names in my environment (e.g. listener_hostname) and want to ensure that this listener is started and not the default listener.  I found a recommendation on Joords Oracle DBA blog: Secure the Oracle Listener to add this parameter to the listener.ora file: 

LISTENER=(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=)(PORT = 0)))

This does work great, but I was wondering if there is any other method that Oracle recommends.

Thanks in advance,

John
