Issue

On Windows 11, it can be difficult to determine the connection status of the Cisco AnyConnect Management Tunnel VPN.

To determine the connection state, do one of the following.  It's not necessary to launch the Cisco VPN UI (vpnui.exe)

1. Open a command prompt 
2. Enter cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\"
3. vpncli.exe stats

Included in the output will be the state of the Management Tunnel.  

The command will output the management tunnel status. A second way to retrieve this information is to:

1. Open a Windows Terminal window
2. Enter Get-NetAdapter -InterfaceDescription Cisco* | Select InterfaceDescription,Status
