meraki_wait_on_rate_limit (boolean), retry if 429 rate limit error encountered? Choices:
|
|
NetworkId path parameter. Network ID. |
|
An array of traffic shaping rules. Rules are applied in the order that they are specified in. An empty list (or null) means no rules. Note that you are allowed a maximum of 8 rules. |
|
A list of objects describing the definitions of your traffic shaping rule. At least one definition is required. |
|
The type of definition. Can be one of ‘application’, ‘applicationCategory’, ‘host’, ‘port’, ‘ipRange’ or ‘localNet’. |
|
If “type” is ‘host’, ‘port’, ‘ipRange’ or ‘localNet’, then “value” must be a string, matching either a hostname (e.g. “somesite.com”), a port (e.g. 8080), or an IP range (“192.1.0.0”, “192.1.0.0/16”, or “10.1.0.0/16 80”). ‘localNet’ also supports CIDR notation, excluding custom ports. If “type” is ‘application’ or ‘applicationCategory’, then “value” must be an object with the structure { “id” “meraki layer7/…” }, where “id” is the application category or application ID (for a list of IDs for your network, use the trafficShaping/applicationCategories endpoint). |
|
The DSCP tag applied by your rule. Null means ‘Do not change DSCP tag’. For a list of possible tag values, use the trafficShaping/dscpTaggingOptions endpoint. |
|
An object describing the bandwidth settings for your rule. |
|
The bandwidth limits object, specifying the upload (‘limitUp’) and download (‘limitDown’) speed in Kbps. These are only enforced if ‘settings’ is set to ‘custom’. |
|
The maximum download limit (integer, in Kbps). |
|
The maximum upload limit (integer, in Kbps). |
|
How bandwidth limits are applied by your rule. Can be one of ‘network default’, ‘ignore’ or ‘custom’. |
|
A string, indicating the priority level for packets bound to your rule. Can be ‘low’, ‘normal’ or ‘high’. |
Notes
Note
SDK Method used are appliance.Appliance.update_network_appliance_traffic_shaping_rules,
Paths used are put /networks/{networkId}/appliance/trafficShaping/rules,
Does not support
check_modeThe plugin runs on the control node and does not use any ansible connection plugins, but instead the embedded connection manager from Cisco DNAC SDK
The parameters starting with dnac_ are used by the Cisco DNAC Python SDK to establish the connection
