Cannot update Switch Ports Configuration.

[BobM]

Hello,

I have used 2 different languages( merakiapi.py and c# )  to update the port configuration on a switch ( tags and vlan ) and although the return status is 200, the configuration is not changed. I am sending the following information:

PUT v0/devices/{serial-num-of-switch}/switchPorts/1

And the data I am sending  is :

{
"vlan": 12,
"tags": "test"

}

Anything that I am missing to get this working?

Thanks in advance.

Update to issue. I was able to update the port configuration via postman... So wondering why my API apps are not working..

Are you certain that you're getting a 200 response?  Some Meraki API calls will respond with a redirect.  Not all libraries default to following redirects and some will even follow the redirect as a GET rather than a PUT or POST.

Do you want to share a bit of your python code (make sure to remove API key and any device serial numbers or network ids)?

Postman just uses the API so possibly a difference in the code/calls you are using?  You can generate code from Postman to compare and verify.

I have discovered the issue the Content-Type was not set to 'application/json'.

Still does not explain why I get status 200 when Content-Type is set to 'text/plain'.

Thanks.

        "Switch port schedule not found",

        "Only one of access policy, MAC whitelist and Sticky whitelist may be specified"

    ]

}

Please help !

Sorry I am using c#  controlling ports on the Meraki switch... So can't help you with specific python issues...

One question I do have have you supplied the Organization name to the  Meraki python api?

Is this error coming from the SDK method, or from a raw JSON PUT/GET?

Hi there,

Here you have a small piece of python code i use to configure a switch .

Script set first port as an uplink and the last port as a Access Point 

The rest of the ports will be Data/Voip

    my_switch = dashboard.devices.getNetworkDevice(def_network,new_ms_serial)

    my_nr_ports = 48

    my_switch_type = my_switch['model']

    if my_switch_type == "MS120-24LP":

       my_nr_ports = 24

    if my_switch_type == "MS120-24P":

       my_nr_ports = 24

    if my_switch_type == "MS220-24":

        my_nr_ports = 24

    if my_switch_type == "MS220-8":

        my_nr_ports = 8

    if my_switch_type == "MS220-8FP":

        my_nr_ports = 8

    if my_switch_type == "MS22":

        my_nr_ports = 24

    for port_nr in range(1,my_nr_ports+1😞

        my_switch_port = dashboard.switch_ports.getDeviceSwitchPort(new_ms_serial,str(port_nr))

        my_switch_port = {}

        if port_nr == 1:

            my_switch_port['name'] = "Uplink to MX"

        elif port_nr == my_nr_ports - 1:

            my_switch_port['name'] = "Meraki Access Point"

        else:

            my_switch_port['name'] = "Data/VoIP"

            my_switch_port['type'] = "access"

            my_switch_port['vlan'] = 520

            my_switch_port['voiceVlan'] = 600

            my_switch_port['stpGuard'] = "bpdu guard"

        response = dashboard.switch_ports.updateDeviceSwitchPort(new_ms_serial,str(port_nr),**my_switch_port)
