Nagios has absolutely no knowledge of MIBs - basically all it know about
is hosts, services and their results... The problem you'll have is to
map a specific trap (or set of traps) to a Nagios service and alert
level with a meaningful message.

What's nice with SNMPTT is that it can parse MIBs and extract traps and
put everything in a SNMPTT config file ready for logging. You'll see the
traps, description and variables. All you have to do then is add an EXEC
line for the traps you want to send the result to Nagios, and set the
alert level and message you want (using the variables provided).

I attached a sample config file. This is basically a convert of IF-MIB
with two traps in it, linkUp and linkDown (I'm not sure it I trimmed it
of not...). What I added is the EXEC lines (and possibly modified the
FORMAT lines). Everything else is from snmpttconvertmib.
