Parameters

Parameter	Comments
auth_key string / required	Authentication key provided by the dashboard. Required if environmental variable MERAKI_KEY is not set.
host string	Hostname for Meraki dashboard. Can be used to access regional Meraki environments, such as China. Default: "api.meraki.com"
internal_error_retry_time integer	Number of seconds to retry if server returns an internal server error. Default: 60
lag_id string	ID of lag to query or modify.
net_id string	ID of network.
net_name string	Name of network.
org_id string	ID of organization.
org_name aliases: organization string	Name of organization.
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
state string	Specifies whether SNMP information should be queried or modified. Choices: "absent" "query" "present" ← (default)
switch_ports list / elements=dictionary	List of switchports to include in link aggregation.
port_id string	Port number which should be included in link aggregation.
serial string	Serial number of switch to own link aggregation.
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

Notes

Note

• Switch profile ports are not supported in this module.

• 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.
