The Hello value sets the interval between hello bridge protocol data units sent by the root

The range is 2 to 10. The default is 4. The multiplier is related to the Hello time interval. Using
the defaults, you wait four times (the multiplier value) at 30 second intervals (the hello value)

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) iin Web Tools, CLI
represents it as 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 in list format.
