Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You install the Network Policy and Access Services role on a server that is running an x64-based version of Windows Server 2008 R2.
-
You configure and then enable the Routing and Remote Access service on the server.Note If you examine the Port window of the Routing and Remote Access service, you notice that the maximum number of WAN Miniport (IKEv2) ports is set to 128.
-
You install Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on the server.
In this scenario, the maximum number of IKEv2 ports is changed from 128 to two. Therefore, only two IKEv2 connections can be active at one time. If more than two clients try to connect to the server at the same time, the Routing and Remote Access service rejects the IKEv2 connection requests. Additionally, the following message is logged in the Rastapi.log file:
Couldn’t find a listening port. Dropping call
Cause
By default, the maximum number of IKEv2 ports in the Port window of the Routing and Remote Access service in Windows Server 2008 R2 is set to two. The number is changed to 128 after you enable the Routing and Remote Access service. However, the IKEv2 component is reinstalled unexpectedly when you install Windows Server 2008 SP1. Therefore, the maximum number of IKEv2 ports is set back to two.
Resolution
To prevent this issue, we recommend that you install this hotfix package before you install Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.If you have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 before this hotfix package, follow these steps to prevent the issue:
-
Manually change the maximum number of number of ports to 128 or a customized value by using an administrator account.
-
Install this hotfix package.

-
Click Start, point to All Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.
-
In the left pane, expand Roles, expand Network Policy and Access, and then expand Routing and Remote Access.
-
Right-click Ports, and then click Properties.
-
Select WAN Miniport (IKEv2) in the Ports Properties dialog box, and then click Configure.
-
Change the Maximum port to 128 or the value you set before and then click OK.
-
Apply the change and then restart the computer.
Method 2
At a command prompt, type the following command to change the maximum port number and then restart the server:
netsh ras set wanports device="WAN Miniport (IKEv2)" maxports=128
