Right - so we're talking about 'snmptt'.
That wasn't clear before.

In general, it's best to state exactly what you've done, rather
than saying "I've followed the instructions". It may be that the
instructions are wrong, or you've misunderstood them, or you
have missing an apparently insignificant (but vital) step.

I believe that 'snmptt' is built upon "snmptrapd".
So the first thing I'd suggest is to check that the basic
snmptrapd functionality is working.
Try running
snmptrapd -f -Le -d
and watch the output to see whether it's receiving the expected
traps.

Sorry - it's not clear exactly what you mean here.

Can you get your router to expicitly send a trap "on-demand"?
If so, do so - what does the "snmptrapd -f -Le -d" command show?

See above.
