would i need a different device command template? console login via a Digi

Question

we have various cisco routers we don't allow any direct access to except via a digi console.

we can hit the digi on telnet via an extended port to log directly into the console port of the router.  i need somehow a template that will login two times to a device

1 - username/password to digi

2 - username/password to cisco router.

i don't see how i could do this.  is there a way?

yea i already did this but it appears to me you are assuming there is no login / password to the console server?

i dont see anywhere i can add additional login information

You can try using NCM's Terminal Server support...

From 5.5.1 Admin Guide:

Adding Nodes Connected through a Serial Terminal Server

When adding devices connected through a serial terminal server, you need to specify certain information that is specific to the terminal server device and other information that is specific to the device attached to the terminal server to which you want to connect. Complete the following procedure, paying close attention to the credential sections

To add a device connected through a serial terminal server:
1. Click Nodes > Add New Node.
2. Type the IP address of the node assigned through the terminal server. For example, the Cisco terminal server device used in the SolarWinds lab, a Cisco 2500 Access Server, uses ports appended to the end of the loopback IP address to specify different devices. In this case, type 10.10.29.1 2001. Some devices allow you to specify unique IP addresses, in which case, specify the assigned IP address in this field.
3. Ignore the community string information, as it does not apply when connecting through a terminal server device.
4. Select the device template for the connected device, not for the terminal server device.
5. If you want to add the node to a group, type or select a node group from the list. If you do not select a group, your new node is grouped in the Unknown group.
6. Specify the login credentials, enable level, and enable password for the target device. Again, do not specify the password for the terminal server device.
7. Select Yes in the Terminal Server Support field.
8. Click OK. When the Add Device dialog states that the IP address does not respond to SNMP queries, click Yes.
