+### Task 8.5: NetBox Integration (COMPLETED)
+
+**Implementation: Custom Sync Script**
+
+The prototype NetBox plugin for NetDisco was not production-ready, so a custom Python sync script was created.
+
+**Script Location:** `/mnt/user/appdata/netdisco/scripts/sync_to_netbox.py`
+
+**What It Does:**
+1. Reads device data from NetDisco PostgreSQL database
+2. Matches devices in NetBox by name
+3. Updates NetBox device comments with NetDisco data:
+   - IP address
+   - OS version
+   - Model
+   - Vendor
+   - Last SNMP discovery timestamp
+
+**NetBox API Token:**
+- Token: `kI2HiUD8Bb53KfdkOTaiWYxZuERjhGU30CgGdYxm`
+- Type: v1 (plaintext)
+- User: admin
+- Permissions: Write-enabled
+
+**Running the Sync:**
+```bash
+docker run --rm --network dockerproxy \
+  -v /mnt/user/appdata/netdisco/scripts:/scripts \
+  python:3.11-slim sh -c \
+  'pip install -q psycopg2-binary requests && python /scripts/sync_to_netbox.py'
+```
+
+**Sync Results:**
+| NetBox Device | NetDisco Device | IP | Status |
+|---------------|-----------------|-----|--------|
+| HAPax3 | HAPax3 | 192.168.31.1 | ✅ Synced |
+| CSS326 | CSS326-24G-2S+ | 192.168.31.9 | ✅ Synced |
+| CAP-XL-ac | CAP XL ac | 192.168.31.6 | ✅ Synced |
+
+**Scheduling (Optional):**
+To run automatically, add to cron:
+```bash
+# Run sync hourly at :45
+45 * * * * docker run --rm --network dockerproxy -v /mnt/user/appdata/netdisco/scripts:/scripts python:3.11-slim sh -c 'pip install -q psycopg2-binary requests 2>/dev/null && python /scripts/sync_to_netbox.py' >> /mnt/user/appdata/netdisco/logs/sync.log 2>&1
+```
+
+
+### Task 8.6: Testing & Validation (COMPLETED)
+
+**Verification Results:**
+
+| Test | Result |
+|------|--------|
+| SNMP to hAP ax³ (192.168.31.1) | ✅ Responding |
+| SNMP to cAP ac (192.168.31.6) | ✅ Responding |
+| SNMP to CSS326 (192.168.31.9) | ✅ Responding |
+| Device discovery | ✅ 3 devices discovered |
+| Port mapping | ✅ 52 ports collected |
+| MAC address tracking | ✅ 19 nodes tracked |
+| NetBox sync | ✅ All 3 devices synced |
+| Internal access (port 5000) | ✅ HTTP 200 |
+| External access (Traefik) | ✅ SSO redirect working |
+
+**Data Collected:**
+- 3 network devices (MikroTik)
+- 52 switch/router ports
+- 19 MAC addresses (nodes)
+- Automatic discovery every 2 hours
+- MAC polling hourly
