Synopsis

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth_key string / required		Authentication key provided by the dashboard. Required if environmental variable `MERAKI_KEY` is not set.
auto_bind boolean	Choices: no yes	Optional boolean indicating whether the network's switches should automatically bind to profiles of the same model. This option only affects switch networks and switch templates. Auto-bind is not valid unless the switch template has at least one profile and has at most one profile per switch model.
config_template -		Name of the configuration template within an organization to manipulate. aliases: name
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 the network to bind or unbind configuration template to.
net_name string		Name of the network to bind or unbind configuration template to.
org_id string		ID of organization associated to a configuration template.
org_name string		Name of organization containing the configuration template. 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.
state -	Choices: absent query ← present	Specifies whether configuration template information should be queried, modified, or deleted.
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.
use_proxy boolean	Choices: no yes	If `no`, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Whether to validate HTTP certificates.

Notes

Note

Module is not idempotent as the Meraki API is limited in what information it provides about configuration templates.
Meraki’s API does not support creating new configuration templates.
To use the configuration template, simply pass its ID via net_id parameters in Meraki modules.
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.
