Authentication and accounting method, device and system for local area network user, and network equipment

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses an authentication and accounting method, an authentication and accounting device and an authentication and accounting system for a local area network user, and user equipment. The method comprises the following steps that: under the condition that a network access server (NAS) detects that an authentication server cannot work normally, the NAS enables an intelligent release function for an accessing client, records the online time length of an online user during an intelligent release period, and provides the recorded online time length of the user during the intelligent release period for the authentication server, and the authentication server updates the online time length in own stored user online time length record, and accounts the user according to the updated online time length record. Therefore, the NAS can accurately determine the online condition and online time length of the user when the authentication server cannot work normally, and the problem that the system cannot accurately determine the online state and online time length of the user under the condition that the authentication server applying an 802.1x authentication standard cannot work normally in the prior art can be solved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a network communication system, in particular, to a method, device and system, and network equipment for authenticating and accounting for users of a local area network. Background technique [0002] In the local area network environment defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineer) 802 LAN (LAN, Local Area Network), as long as there is a physical connection, any PC or user can enter the network, which will bring For serious intranet security issues, 802.1x was proposed to solve this problem. [0003] IEEE 802.1x is one of the LAN standards formulated by the IEEE 802 committee. For a LAN deployed with 802.1x authentication, when users (such as personal computers, etc.) access the LAN, they need to pass 802.1x authentication before they can access the network. Users who are not authenticated will not be able to access the LAN. [0004] The following three...
