Need API Call for Switchport-Info

[JoergT]

Hi,

I am looking for API calls for the following information (Switch):

- Current Interface Status and negotiation (Right now I can only use SNMP (Standard-ifTable))

- Current PoE Port-Poweroutput

SNMP is very rudimentarily implemented. 😞

Hi @JoergT,

You can find all the info about the API in the documentation.

https://dashboard.meraki.com/manage/support/api_docs

Think you need "Return a switch port", but they do not send all the info you need. See sample response below.

SAMPLE RESPONSE

Successful HTTP Status: 200

}

Sorry @JoergT there is no easy way of doing that.  You are stuck with horrible SNMP.

Thanks, I thought so.

.... but these are all just settings. Live information is unfortunately not well implemented. There is still a lot of catching up to do here.
Unfortunately, SNMP is poorly implemented and doesn't provide much information.
Because of this, among other things, I will choose Catalyst, against Meraki (unfortunately "politics" also plays a role here). Still my opinion is, that Meraki is not suitable for the bigger enterprise sector. It's all nice click and colorful, but much fewer possibilities.

Although some Meraki sales person heart just sank, overall the Cisco shareholders are happy with you decision.  🙂
