How can I index SNMP traps on Windows with Splunk?

I would like my Juniper and Cisco network devices to send snmp traps to Splunk indexer running on Win2008.

Anyone indexing snmp traps on Windows yet? If so, how are you setting it up?

I've seen the Splunk docs referring to net-snmp and also snmptrapd processes, but not sure its made for Windows, so any details would be good to know (for me and I'm sure for others out there trying to send their snmp traps from their network devices to splunk).

Net-SNMP is available for Windows, so I'd go for that if I were you. There's also snmpd/snmptrapd functionality in the Kiwi Syslog Daemon.
