VM console access in CMP depends entirely on CloudStack's Console Proxy — a dedicated System VM (Console Proxy VM, or CPVM) that is separate from the virtual router and other system VMs. CMP does not host or proxy console traffic itself. When a customer opens a VM console in the CMP portal, CMP requests a console endpoint from CloudStack and redirects the customer to the CloudStack console proxy URL.
