Allows for creation, management, and visibility into layer 3 firewalls implemented on Meraki MX firewalls.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth_key string / required			Authentication key provided by the dashboard. Required if environmental variable `MERAKI_KEY` is not set.
host string		Default: "api.meraki.com"	Hostname for Meraki dashboard. Can be used to access regional Meraki environments, such as China.
internal_error_retry_time integer		Default: 60	Number of seconds to retry if server returns an internal server error.
net_id string			ID of network which MX firewall is in.
net_name string			Name of network which MX firewall is in.
org_id string			ID of organization.
org_name string			Name of organization. aliases: organization
output_format string		Choices: snakecase ← camelcase	Instructs module whether response keys should be snake case (ex. `net_id`) or camel case (ex. `netId`).
output_level string		Choices: debug normal ←	Set amount of debug output during module execution.
rate_limit_retry_time integer		Default: 165	Number of seconds to retry if rate limiter is triggered.
rules list / elements=dictionary			List of firewall rules.
	comment string		Optional comment to describe the firewall rule.
	dest_cidr string		Comma separated list of CIDR notation destination networks. `Any` must be capitalized.
	dest_port string		Comma separated list of destination port numbers to match against. `Any` must be capitalized.
	policy string	Choices: allow deny	Policy to apply if rule is hit.
	protocol string	Choices: any icmp tcp udp	Protocol to match against.
	src_cidr string		Comma separated list of CIDR notation source networks. `Any` must be capitalized.
	src_port string		Comma separated list of source port numbers to match against. `Any` must be capitalized.
	syslog_enabled boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Whether to log hints against the firewall rule. Only applicable if a syslog server is specified against the network.
state string		Choices: present ← query	Create or modify an organization.
syslog_default_rule boolean		Choices: no yes	Whether to log hits against the default firewall rule. Only applicable if a syslog server is specified against the network. This is not shown in response from Meraki. Instead, refer to the `syslog_enabled` value in the default rule.
timeout integer		Default: 30	Time to timeout for HTTP requests.
use_https boolean		Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, it will use HTTP. Otherwise it will use HTTPS. Only useful for internal Meraki developers.

validate_certs boolean		Choices: no yes ←	Whether to validate HTTP certificates.

Notes

Note

Module assumes a complete list of firewall rules are passed as a parameter.
If there is interest in this module allowing manipulation of a single firewall rule, please submit an issue against 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.
