ap-trapd(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual ap-trapd(8)

ap-trapd - a SNMP trap processing daemon

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

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).

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
