cmTrapTypeLogSeverity is a read-only enumeration reporting the default severity level the system assigns to a given entry in the trap-type table. An administrator reads this to understand how the system will classify a given event type before it is even logged, informing how notifications should be set up for that type. For example, an operator wanting to know whether linkDown events are treated as major or critical by default would check the cmTrapTypeLogSeverity value on that entry.
