10. In the FC0E Priority Bits field, enter a value that indicates the desired user priority. Each bit
represents a user priority associated with FCoE traffic.
The range of valid values is from 0 through 255. The default is 8.
Even though setting multiple bits is allowed (exercising the full range of values), it doesn't
make sense to set more than one bit, because adapters don't support multiple priorities for
FCoE.
NOTE
Web Tools accepts only decimal values for this option, but the CLI allows only entries in list
format or hexadecimal. For example, if you enter the value 8 (decimal) in Web Tools, CLI
represents it as 3 in list format. If you enter the value 255 (decimal) in Web Tools, CLI
represents it as 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 in list format.
11. Select the parameters you want to exchange.
