large number of users log in but cannot pass authentication, the switch may run out of ACL resources,
preventing other users from logging in. A timer called ACL timer is designed to solve this problem.
You can control the usage of ACL resources by setting the ACL timer. The ACL timer starts once a user
gets online. If the user has not passed authentication when the ACL timer expires, the occupied ACL
