Step #1 - Configure snmptrapd to forward traps to rsyslog
Edit /etc/sysconfig/snmptrapd
Below is an example of configuring snmptrapd to send traps to rsyslog. The '-Ls' flag tells snmptrapd to send logging output to syslog. Using '-Ls 2' specifies that snmptrapd will send it with the local2 facility value. The facility value is what rsyslog keys on for routing decisions. Please review the snmptrapd and snmpcmd man pages.
