The third way would be in the cds file. Just make 4 entries for the
same trap. Then, include the the trap's varbind severity in the SELECT
section and put the associated TEC severity in the MAP section. If you
only have a few of these, it's not a big deal, but I'd look at your
other options if you have lots of traps like this.
If you are interested in doing it via a TEC rule, just ask. It
shouldn't take to long to write up something like that.
