The IP address this switch will use for layer 3 routing on this VLAN or subnet.
This cannot be the same as the switch's management IP.

integer
Default:
60
Number of seconds to retry if server returns an internal server error.

string
ID of organization.
org_name
string
Name of organization.

aliases: organization
ospf_settings
dictionary
The OSPF routing settings of the interface.
area
string
The OSPF area to which this interface should belong.
Can be either 'disabled' or the identifier of an existing OSPF area.
cost
integer
The path cost for this interface.
is_passive_enabled
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
When enabled, OSPF will not run on the interface, but the subnet will still be advertised.
output_format
string
    Choices:
  • snakecase ←
  • camelcase
Instructs module whether response keys should be snake case (ex. net_id) or camel case (ex. netId).
output_level
string
    Choices:
  • debug
  • normal ←
Set amount of debug output during module execution.
rate_limit_retry_time
integer
Default:
165
Number of seconds to retry if rate limiter is triggered.
serial
string
Serial number of MS switch hosting the layer 3 interface.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • query
  • absent
Create or modify an organization.
subnet
string
The network that this routed interface is on, in CIDR notation.
timeout
integer
Default:
30
Time to timeout for HTTP requests.
use_https
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
If no, it will use HTTP. Otherwise it will use HTTPS.
Only useful for internal Meraki developers.
use_proxy
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
If no, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts.
validate_certs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
Whether to validate HTTP certificates.
vlan_id
integer
The VLAN this routed interface is on.
VLAN must be between 1 and 4094.

Notes

Note

  • Once a layer 3 interface is created, the API does not allow updating the interface and specifying default_gateway.

  • 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.
