You have five Net8 components to choose from when you install the Oracle software on a server. Figure 4.1 shows the installer screen with these components highlighted, and the following list describes each of them:

Net8 Client

Allows one computer to connect over the network as a client to a remote Oracle database

Net8 Server

Allows a server to accept Net8 connections from clients

Oracle Names

Allows a node to function as a Names server for the purpose of resolving net service names to specific database instances running on specific servers

Oracle Connection Manager

Implements connection concentration (multiplexing), network access control, and protocol translation

Oracle SNMP Agent

Allows an Oracle database to be monitored and managed by network management tools using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Figure 4.1. The Net8 component list that you see when doing a custom install

A default server install of the Oracle software will include the Net8 Client and Net8 Server components. The other components must be manually selected. This chapter focuses primarily on the Net8 Server component. For information on installing and configuring the other components, see Chapter 7, Chapter 9, and Chapter 3.
