    Hi, @Vira Dual

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    By default, SQL Server named instances use dynamic ports for connections to the database engine. Configuration Manager doesn't support dynamic ports. So when you use a named instance, manually configure the static port for intrasite communication.

    How to configure SQL Server to use a specific port, see Configure a server to listen on a specific TCP port.
