Compound Authentication

Compound Authentication settings allows for multiple types of authentication to be supported on the Switch. Previously 802.1X,
MBAC, JWAC, and IPMB could not work in conjunction with other modules on a port. The following features provide a
mechanism to allow 802.1X, MBAC, JWAC and IPMB to work together in various combinations.
