I am using af lenses, 28mm, 55mm, zoom 70-200mm
Set the aperture ring to its minimum setting (largest f/number) and leave it there. You control the aperture from the camera body, exactly the same way as on a lens without an aperture ring. In the A mode, simply turn the command dial. In the M mode, hold down the aperture (exposure compensation) button and turn the command dial.

That's the Nikon error message for a lens with aperture ring set to something other than the minimum (i.e. highest number).
The camera insists on controlling the aperture ring, and to do so, the ring must be set to the minimum setting.
Unless it is a "G" lens, which has no aperture ring whatsoever.
The camera body sets the aperture of the lens wide open while
auto-focusing, and displaying through the viewfinder. When it comes
time to flip the mirror up and take a picture, the camera dials the
aperture to the setting you (or the camera) have selected.

Sorry, that is not what I was asking for. Exactly what I want to avoid is to use the dial for set the aperture of the lens. What I want is to use the ring on the lens to control the aperture. Thank you anyway.
You can't. The aperture ring is for use with older cameras that don't control the aperture electronically. With newer cameras like the D5100, you have to set the minimum aperture and then forget that the lens has an aperture ring. Newer, electronically controlled lenses don't have an aperture ring at all. You have to control the aperture from the camera body.
If you have an older, non-electronic lens then the only way you can use it is in the manual exposure mode. In this case you then do use the aperture ring to set the aperture. If the display reads "FEE" when you mount the lens, set the aperture ring to its minimum setting. If the display reads "F--" then use the manual exposure mode and the aperture ring.
