cisco.meraki.meraki_mr_rf_profile module – Manage RF profiles for Meraki wireless networks

Note

This module is part of the cisco.meraki collection (version 2.15.1).

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_mr_rf_profile.

Synopsis

• Allows for configuration of radio frequency (RF) profiles in Meraki MR wireless networks.

validate_certs boolean	Whether to validate HTTP certificates. Choices: false true ← (default)

Notes

Note

• 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.
