Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The auxiliary port is usually used to provide out-of-band access for dedicated console connections to manage or configure a router remotely using a modem, especially for troubleshooting purposes. The console port is a physical serial interface used as a primary means of accessing and configuring network devices such as switches and routers, but it requires a direct physical connection. The virtual and terminal ports are not used for remote access via a modem.
