Configuring a VNFM connection to the console of a CPE device

The VNFM is responsible for running scripts on the CPE device. In the CPE template, you must specify the username and password, as well as the SSH port number, to let VNFM connect to the device console and run scripts. The specified connection settings apply to all devices that use the template.
