Type⇑
Description
The Layer 7 listener type.
An “http” listener treats requests as an HTTP Request, so it will parse the request data to use for load balancing.
A “tcp” listener will not parse request data. Only the client’s IP address and port are parsed for load balancing.
Syntax
Select from drop down list
IP Address⇑
Description
Specifies the IP of this listener. All available IP addresses are listed. IPv6 addresses are enclosed in "[ ]".
To listen on all IPv4 IP addresses, select ANY. To listen on all IPv6 IP addresses, select [ANY] IPv6. If No is selected for setting Bind IPv6 Only, selecting [ANY] IPv6 will listen on IPv4 addresses as well.
By default, LiteSpeed uses separate listeners for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Should the need to serve both IPv4 and IPv6 arise, separate listeners should be created for each.

Tips
If your machine has multiple IPs on different sub-networks, you can select a specific IP to only allow traffic from the corresponding sub-network.
Port⇑
Description
Specifies the TCP port of the listener. Only the super user ("root") can use ports lower than 1024. Port 80 is the default HTTP port. Port 443 is the default HTTPS port.
Syntax
Integer number
Secure⇑
Description
Specifies whether this is a secure (SSL) listener. For secure listeners, additional SSL settings need to be set properly.
