max number network listeners specifies the maximum number of network listeners allowed by Adaptive Server at one time.

Each master port has one network listener. Generally, there is no need to have multiple master ports, unless your Adaptive Server must communicate over more than one network type. Some platforms support both socket and TLI (Transport Layer Interface) network interfaces. See the Configuration Guide for your platform for information on supported network types.
