If you use dynamic port allocation, you specify port number zero in the network configuration. Dynamic Port: You can configure SQL Server to use a dynamic port.If you configure SQL Server to use a static port other than the default port, you should communicate it to the clients or application owners to specify in the connection string By default, SQL Server uses static TCP port number 1433 for the default instance MSSQLSERVER. It does not change due to a service or system restart. Static Port: A static port is always bound to a service or application.We can have two kinds of SQL Server Ports in SQL Server. Each client application uses the combination of IP addresses and port number to connect to SQL Server. Once we install SQL Server, it configures default ports for SQL Server services. It might bind to a particular application or service. We can define the port as an endpoint of service for communication purposes.
