   The Guest User screen displays the following:

   Client MAC	Displays the hard coded MAC address assigned to the guest client at the factory and can not be modified. The address displays as a link that you can select to view configuration and network address information in greater detail.
   IP Address	Displays the unique IP address of the guest client. Use this address as necessary throughout the applet for filtering and device intrusion recognition and approval.
   IPv6 Address	Displays the current IPv6 formatted IP address a listed guest client is using as a network identifier. IPv6 is the latest revision of the IP (Internet Protocol) designed to replace IPv4. IPv6 addresses are composed of eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons.
   Hostname	Displays the hostname (MAC addresses) of connected guest clients. The hostname displays as a link that can be selected to display configuration and network address information in greater detail.
   Role	Lists the guest client‘s defined role within the controller or service platform managed network.
   Client Identity	Displays the Client Identity for this device. Client Identity is a set of unique fingerprints used to identify a class of devices. This information is then used to configure the permissions and access rules for the class of devices in the network.
   Vendor	Displays the name of the manufacturer of the device.
   Band	Displays the 2.4 or 5 GHz radio band on which the listed guest client operates.
   AP Hostname	Displays the administrator assigned hostname of the access point to which this guest client is associated.
   Radio MAC	Displays the MAC address of the radio which the guest client is connected
   WLAN	Displays the name of the WLAN the guest client is currently assigned for its AP interoperation. Use this information to determine if the client/WLAN placement best suits the intended operation and the client's coverage area.
   VLAN	Displays the VLAN ID the guest client‘s connected AP has defined as a virtual interface.
   Last Active	Displays the time when this guest client was last seen (or detected) by a device within the controller or service platform managed network.
