Hi,

Does ConfD basic support installation of ConfD server and client application on separate machines ? What are the installation steps to do so, execute them and perform verification of Netconf operation request response?

See for example ConfD UG Chapter 15.4. Configuration of the NETCONF Server:

> /confdConfig/netconf/transport/ssh Settings for the built-in SSH server, such as listen ip address and port.

…together with the confd.conf.5 man page. See `/confdConfig/netconf/transport/ssh`  
and  
`netconf-console --host=<confd ssh server ip addr> --port=<confd ssh server port> ...`
