It's definitely similar, but not identical. For instance, an HTTP
listener has 4 required fields (name, IP address, port, and default
virtual server), while according to the Admin Console a network listener
has only 2 (name, port). I have queried whether the IP address (newly
added) is required. Although they have no asterisk, it seems that you
can't avoid specifying a protocol, thread pool, and transport, either
(none of which existed for HTTP listeners).
