Synopsis

• Allows for configuration of radio settings in Meraki MR wireless networks.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
auth_key string / required	Authentication key provided by the dashboard. Required if environmental variable MERAKI_KEY is not set.
five_ghz_settings dictionary	Manual radio settings for 5 GHz. Default: {}
channel integer	Sets a manual channel for 5 GHz. Choices: 36 40 44 48 52 56 60 64 100 104 108 112 116 120 124 128 132 136 140 144 149 153 157 161 165
channel_width string	Sets a manual channel for 5 GHz. Can be ‘0’, ‘20’, ‘40’, or ‘80’ or null for using auto channel width. Choices: "auto" "20" "40" "80"
target_power integer	Set a manual target power for 5 GHz. Can be between ‘8’ or ‘30’ or null for using auto power range.
host string	Hostname for Meraki dashboard. Can be used to access regional Meraki environments, such as China. Default: "api.meraki.com"
internal_error_retry_time integer	Number of seconds to retry if server returns an internal server error. Default: 60
net_id string	ID of a network.
net_name aliases: network string	Name of a network.
org_id string	ID of organization.
org_name aliases: organization string	Name of organization.
output_format string	Instructs module whether response keys should be snake case (ex. net_id) or camel case (ex. netId). Choices: "snakecase" ← (default) "camelcase"
output_level string	Set amount of debug output during module execution. Choices: "debug" "normal" ← (default)
rate_limit_retry_time integer	Number of seconds to retry if rate limiter is triggered. Default: 165
rf_profile_id string	The ID of an RF profile to assign to the device. If the value of this parameter is null, the appropriate basic RF profile (indoor or outdoor) will be assigned to the device. Assigning an RF profile will clear ALL manually configured overrides on the device (channel width, channel, power).
rf_profile_name string	The name of an RF profile to assign to the device. Similar to ``rf_profile_id``, but requires ``net_id`` (preferred) or ``net_name``.
serial string	Serial number of a device to query.
state string	Query or edit radio settings on a device. Choices: "present" ← (default) "query"
timeout integer	Time to timeout for HTTP requests. Default: 30
two_four_ghz_settings dictionary	Manual radio settings for 2.4 GHz. Default: {}
channel integer	Sets a manual channel for 2.4 GHz. Can be ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’, ‘6’, ‘7’, ‘8’, ‘9’, ‘10’, ‘11’, ‘12’, ‘13’ or ‘14’ or null for using auto channel. Choices: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
target_power integer	Set a manual target power for 2.4 GHz. Can be between ‘5’ or ‘30’ or null for using auto power range.
use_https boolean	If no, it will use HTTP. Otherwise it will use HTTPS. Only useful for internal Meraki developers. Choices: false true ← (default)
use_proxy boolean	If no, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts. Choices: false ← (default) true
validate_certs boolean	Whether to validate HTTP certificates. Choices: false true ← (default)

Notes

Note

• More information about the Meraki API can be found at https://dashboard.meraki.com/api_docs.

• Some of the options are likely only used for developers within Meraki.

• As of Ansible 2.9, Meraki modules output keys as snake case. To use camel case, set the ANSIBLE_MERAKI_FORMAT environment variable to camelcase.

• Ansible’s Meraki modules will stop supporting camel case output in Ansible 2.13. Please update your playbooks.

• Check Mode downloads the current configuration from the dashboard, then compares changes against this download. Check Mode will report changed if there are differences in the configurations, but does not submit changes to the API for validation of change.
