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
