Meraki MR does not accept my static Lan IP with API

[david11]

Hello everybody

I am writing a script that sets the LAN-IPs for all the AccessPoints.

My problem is that the MRs that are in a network change their LAN-IP-Address to the static one but the MRs that are in no network and are still in the inventory do not apply the static IP-Address.

Is this normal or is there a problem with my api call? 

That is my payload with IPs as x 🙂

payload = {
    "wan1": {
        "vlan": None,
        "staticGatewayIp": "x.x.x.x",
        "staticIp": x.x.x.x,
        "staticSubnetMask": "x.x.x.x",
        "usingStaticIp": True,
        "staticDns": ["x.x.x.x"]
    }
}

To set a static IP on a device it has to be in a network. 

This isn't the subject of your post , but why are you using static IPs. More trouble and no gain.

+1.  Use DHCP for APs.

Thanks for your comments and helping me.

@RaphaelL it is a requirement. I am just implementing it. 🙂
