Click on the AUX does not work
Start the Router, and click the AUX button. The router is still in the initial configuration setting and required to answer the prompt with Y or N.
Click on the Console

Press Enter to begin. There will be error message prompt warning that the ports is down. It should be fine.
Now use the AUX console
When using the AUX console, they would be so much disruption on the errors display message while typing the command. The reason for this is, the line between the line con 0 and vty is not synchrologize.
If the enable secret had been enabled, the router/switch will basically ignore the line con 0 password and uses the secret as enable secret is store in a higher mode as the password is encrypted.
