CAUSE

Theoretically, you don't have to configure parameters related to listener in database, neither LOCAL_LISTENER nor REMOTE_LISTENER. A background process, Listener Registration (LREG) of each instance will register services with the default local and remote listener automatically.

For a new listener which uses non-local IP address or non-default port number, you need to explicitly tell LREG to register database services with numerous listeners by ALTER SYSTEM SET LOCAL_LISTENER. Which requires LOCAL_LISTENER to accept more listener addresses in the setting.

SOLUTION

ALTER SYSTEM SET LOCAL_LISTENER='(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.3.248)(PORT=1521))' SCOPE=BOTH;

ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER;
