Immediately after installation, CSO does not contain any VNFs. You have to upload the VNFs to the CSO platform through the Administration Portal or through API calls.
You can use these VNFs in service chains and configure some settings for them in Network Service Designer. You can then view those network service configuration settings in the Administration Portal. Customers can also configure some settings for the VNFs in their network services through Customer Portal. VNF configuration settings that customers specify in the Customer Portal override VNF configuration settings specified in Network Service Designer.
