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
