CHAPTER
11 Configuring Network
Resources
WebLogic Server allows you to manage the connection behavior of the server
instances that host applications. Configurable resources, including Network Channels
and domain-wide administration ports, help you effectively utilize the network
features of the machines that host your applications and manage quality of service.
The following sections describe configurable WebLogic Server network resources,
examples of their use, and the configuration process:

Overview of Network Configuration
For many development environments, configuring WebLogic Server network
resources is simply a matter of identifying a Managed Server’s Listen Address and
Listen Port. However, in most production environments, administrators must balance
finite network resources against the demands placed upon the network. The task of
keeping applications available and responsive can be complicated by specific
application requirements, security considerations, and maintenance tasks, both
planned and unplanned.
