If you install Oracle AI Database on servers with multiple Oracle homes, multiple aliases, or without a static IP address, then review these network configuration topics.
If you are installing Oracle AI Database on a server with a static host name and IP address and at least one network interface, then no special network configuration is required.
Note:
If you have a firewall running, ensure that all the required ports are open. See, Oracle AI Database Component Port Numbers and Protocols for a list of port numbers and protocols configured for Oracle AI Database components.- About Oracle AI Database Network Configuration Options
