#### 6.5.1 po_ir

po_ir is a stand alone server that supports the CORBA Interface Repository. When launched, it returns its `IOR` and `corbaloc` that can then be used by other CORBA applications.

If you want po_ir to return the same `IOR` or `corbaloc` at each startup, you must set a default listen port for the protocol personalities you use. See Configuring protocol personality preferences for more details.
