wpa_encryption_mode string		Choices: WPA1 and WPA2 WPA2 only	Encryption mode within WPA2 specification.

Notes

Note

• Deleting an SSID does not delete RADIUS servers.

• 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.
