Dave, So enabled the snmptrapd and I configured the router to send the v3 traps to my box and I am now seeing the v3 traps come through Wireshark. Its working. Thanks for the assistance.

If you want to accept and process these notifications, then you need something running on your NIC to do so. This could be the Net-SNMP trap receiver (snmptrapd), or some other trap-handling software. If you just want to capture the notification packets, then all you really need is to configure the router to send traps to this system. There probably doesn't need to be anything running on the server to actually receive them. (Although if you are sending SNMPv3 INFORM requests, rather than traps, you may need snmptrapd to be running, in order to handle any probes for engineID and boot/time information. This depends on exactly how the router handles things). You certainly don't need an SNMP *agent* running on the NIC system in order to receive notifications.
