Network Requirements

The library should be in a secure private network, switches set to auto negotiate, and each external library port on it's own subnet.

Oracle recommends a dedicated and secure private network for communication between the library and host software. A secure private network connection using an Ethernet hub or switch is required for maximum throughput and minimum resource contention. Switches must be set to auto negotiate. Each external library port must be on a separate subnet. If network ports are on the same subnet, you will only be able to reach one port.

See Default Port Numbers.

Reserved IP Address Range

The library reserves IP addresses 192.168.0.0/19. Avoid using addresses in the range 192.168.0.0/19 for any external interface.
