NAME

       ap-trapd - a SNMP trap processing daemon

SYNOPSIS

       ap-trapd [ -i device ] [-u user ] [-s]

DESCRIPTION

       ap-trapd  It's  a  SNMP trap processing daemon that accepts traps, parse them and store useful data using
       syslog, at logging LEVEL0.  Specify device to listen for SNMP traps on the particular device (this option
       only works at Linux). To be running by user different from nobody you may specify user.
       To correct work with Smartbridges APs specify -s key (they use specific traps).
       Utility added to ap-utils from version 0.8.

SYSLOG

       To store traps to own log file you may add next string to your /etc/syslog.conf
            local0.*       /var/log/ap-traps.log
       After doing it, just restart syslogd with command like
            killall -HUP syslogd
