Account Lifetime: This setting defines how long an account remains on the security
appliance before the account expires. If Auto-Prune is enabled, the account is deleted
when it expires. If the Auto-Prune checkbox is cleared, the account remains in the list
of guest accounts with an Expired status, allowing easy reactivation.
–
Session Lifetime: Defines how long a guest login session remains active after it has
been activated. By default, activation occurs the first time a guest user logs into an
account. The Session Lifetime cannot exceed the value set in the Account Lifetime.
–
Idle Timeout: Defines the maximum period of time when no traffic is passed on an
activated guest services session. Exceeding the period defined by this setting expires
the session, but the account itself remains active as long as the Account Lifetime
hasn't expired. The Idle Timeout cannot exceed the value set in the Session Lifetime.

Comment: Any text can be entered as a comment in the Comment field.

Viewing Guest Account Statistics
To view statistics on a guest account, hover your mouse over the Statistics icon in the line of
the guest account. The statistics window will display the cumulative total bytes and packets
sent and received for all completed sessions. Currently active sessions will not be added to the
statistics until the guest user logs out.
