AUX port is used for low speed asnyc connections such as connecting with a modem. You can then configure your router anyway you desire.

Connecting a router to a switch via aux port is really only usefull for out-of-band management ... eg. allowing you to telnet to the router via the switch on a different port ... telnet 2001.

Actually Cisco mentions that you can use the AUX port for direct attachment of a terminal and dialing for the purpose of routing packets.
