Availability Group listener

    Hi,

    Quick question around port numbers and Availability Group listeners. If I have a SQL Server instance configured to use port 1435 am I able to configure the Availability Group listener to use port 1433 or do they have to be set to the same port ?

    Thanks

    Hope this helps...

    No, the SQL Server instance does not have to use the same port as the Availability group listener. On the other hand, if you decide to use a different port number for the listener instead of the default 1433, you need to specify the port number in the client connection string. The port number for the SQL Server instance is not affected by this rule as long as the SQL browser service is running.

    its the combination of the IP and port that should be unique.

    You can listen on the same port as long as its on separate IP addresses
