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 
resources are released for other users to use. When a tremendous of access requests are present, you 
can decrease the timeout period of the ACL timer appropriately for higher utilization of ACL resources. 
Follow these steps to configure the ACL timer:
