five_ghz_settings

dictionary

Manual radio settings for 5 GHz.

Default: :ansible-option-default:`{}`

channel

integer

Sets a manual channel for 5 GHz.

Choices:

channel_width

string

Sets a manual channel for 5 GHz.

Can be '0', '20', '40', or '80' or null for using auto channel width.

Choices:

target_power

integer

Set a manual target power for 5 GHz.

Can be between '8' or '30' or null for using auto power range.

host

string

Hostname for Meraki dashboard.

Can be used to access regional Meraki environments, such as China.

Default: :ansible-option-default:`"api.meraki.com"`

internal_error_retry_time

integer

Number of seconds to retry if server returns an internal server error.

Default: :ansible-option-default:`60`

net_id

string

ID of a network.

net_name

aliases: network

string

Name of a 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:

output_level

string

Set amount of debug output during module execution.

Choices:

rate_limit_retry_time

integer

Number of seconds to retry if rate limiter is triggered.

Default: :ansible-option-default:`165`

rf_profile_id

string

The ID of an RF profile to assign to the device.

If the value of this parameter is null, the appropriate basic RF profile (indoor or outdoor) will be assigned to the device.

Assigning an RF profile will clear ALL manually configured overrides on the device (channel width, channel, power).

rf_profile_name

string

The name of an RF profile to assign to the device.

Similar to ``rf_profile_id``, but requires ``net_id`` (preferred) or ``net_name``.

serial

string

Serial number of a device to query.

state

string

Query or edit radio settings on a device.

Choices:

timeout

integer

Time to timeout for HTTP requests.

Default: :ansible-option-default:`30`

two_four_ghz_settings

dictionary

Manual radio settings for 2.4 GHz.

Default: :ansible-option-default:`{}`

channel

integer

Sets a manual channel for 2.4 GHz.

Can be '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', '11', '12', '13' or '14' or null for using auto channel.

Choices:

target_power

integer

Set a manual target power for 2.4 GHz.

Can be between '5' or '30' or null for using auto power range.

use_https

boolean

If no, it will use HTTP. Otherwise it will use HTTPS.

Only useful for internal Meraki developers.

Choices:

use_proxy

boolean

If no, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts.

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.
