cisco.meraki.meraki_ms_l3_interface – Manage routed interfaces on MS switches

Note

This plugin is part of the cisco.meraki collection (version 2.2.0).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install cisco.meraki.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.meraki.meraki_ms_l3_interface.

Synopsis

• Allows for creation, management, and visibility into routed interfaces on Meraki MS switches.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth_key string / required			Authentication key provided by the dashboard. Required if environmental variable MERAKI_KEY is not set.
default_gateway string			The next hop for any traffic that isn't going to a directly connected subnet or over a static route. This IP address must exist in a subnet with a routed interface.
host string		Default: "api.meraki.com"	Hostname for Meraki dashboard. Can be used to access regional Meraki environments, such as China.
interface_id string			Uniqiue identification number for layer 3 interface.
interface_ip string			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.
internal_error_retry_time integer		Default: 60	Number of seconds to retry if server returns an internal server error.
multicast_routing string		Choices: disabled enabled IGMP snooping querier	Enable multicast support if multicast routing between VLANs is required.
name string			A friendly name or description for the interface or VLAN.
org_id 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.
