Rollout SSID to 50 networks in the same organization

[ChrisSchu]

Hey there,

i do need to rollout a new SSID to approx. 50 networks within the same org. Any recomandations? I am a python noob, used api a little bit before to get some network details but never used it for configure something. Thankful for any help.

cheers Chris

I'm going to guess these 50 networks are not bound to a template otherwise this would be easy.

I don't have anything directly to help.

Maybe check out the Meraki Python tutorial.

This GitHub has a lot of automation scripts.  Nothing that matches exactly what you want, but there are some scripts with interact with SSIDs, so something you could copy and paste.

thanks, i managed to do it with meraki-cli https://github.com/PackeTsar/meraki-cli/blob/master/COMMAND_GUIDE.md with the following command:

meraki wireless updateNetworkWirelessSsid --organizationId XXXXXX --networkId 'N_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX' --number '14' --name 'XXXXXXXXXX' --enabled "true" --authMode 'psk' --encryptionMode 'wpa' --psk 'XXXXXXXX' --wpaEncryptionMode 'WPA2 only' --ipAssignmentMode 'Bridge mode' --useVlanTagging "true" --defaultVlanId "XXX" --visible "false"

I just copied this command in notepad and replayed the network-Id with the real ones and pasted all in the CLI. completed successfull to 130 networks even i guess there is a smarter solution with loops. overall i did in approx. 2 hours, by hand it would be 10hours (ish)
