snmp newbie -- linksys log trap

I've tried some basic settings for trapping some log sent from my 
linksys befsr41 4-port router which is sending some kinda snmp port 
162 messages-- but dam I wanna but I cantta? I'm sorry for being so 
dumb in this, but what terms should I look into and make necessary 
changes to, as in configuration directives, in order for me to catch 
the log from my router on my debian machine?
the build i'm using was revealed using 'snmpd -v'

NET-SNMP version:  5.2.1.2
Web:               http://www.net-snmp.org/
Email:             [email protected]

(my debian I have looked into /etc/default/snmpd and have set  TRAPDRUN=yes)
if this is debianess, ok ok.. if there's the vanilla way of setting 
things out, I'd like to hear it, because tcpdump with the primitive 
port 162 does show activity, and I know it's really just one or two 
configuration thingies I'm not getting, like a 'pub' 'communitiy' 
name I keep picking up in the docs.. What one or two things should I 
look into just for this? I've searched the mailing list but I only 
get 3 linksys results with no answers. I know some kind of agent is 
supposed to be triggered, but I'm not sure if I'm suppose to be 
calling this other daemon up beforehand (I'm i supposed to 
invoke-rc.d anything other than snmpd, /var/log/snmptrapd.conf won't 
show up in lsof unless I invoke snmptrapd -- and the snmptrapd daemon 
was made to work with snmpd--) All I know is that I have to make some 
kind of mouse-trap ://

I look on the homepage site but there's a pending-state for the 
tutorial i want-- so I'm out of luck.. If I can get just one or two 
links to hint further I should do, I really don't mind at all rtfming 
a little more, I know I'm close on the track though.

thanks for any feedback, greatly appreciated..
