A Telnet client is used when proxying communications between users and most types of devices on the private network because all supported device types support Telnet connections while some do not support SSH. (The OnBoard appliance uses ipmitool commands for IPMI-type SPs.) If an SP must be on the public network, then the administrator should strongly consider configuring either an SSH client or bidilink to be used instead of the Telnet client, if either SSH or bidilink is supported by the SPs.
