Note

This module is part of the cisco.meraki collection (version 2.18.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

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

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

DEPRECATED

Removed in:

version 3.0.0

Why:

Updated modules released with increased functionality

Alternative:

cisco.meraki.devices_switch_routing_interfaces

Synopsis

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

Parameters

Parameter	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	Hostname for Meraki dashboard. Can be used to access regional Meraki environments, such as China. Default: "api.meraki.com"
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	Number of seconds to retry if server returns an internal server error. Default: 60
multicast_routing string	Enable multicast support if multicast routing between VLANs is required. Choices: "disabled" "enabled" "IGMP snooping querier"
name string	A friendly name or description for the interface or VLAN.
org_id string	ID of organization.
org_name aliases: organization string	Name of 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	When enabled, OSPF will not run on the interface, but the subnet will still be advertised. Choices: false true
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
serial string	Serial number of MS switch hosting the layer 3 interface.
state string	Create or modify an organization. Choices: "present" ← (default) "query" "absent"
subnet string	The network that this routed interface is on, in CIDR notation.
timeout integer	Time to timeout for HTTP requests. Default: 30
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)
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.
