Adding Voice VLANS to multiple Ports at once

[trunolimit]

I miss the old days where I could just enter stuff into an excel sheet and then just copy paste an entire config into a terminal window.

Any who, I've got about 5 switches with about 24 ports each that need to add a voice VLAN to each port. Is there a way to do it that doesn't involve me going into the details menu of each port?

Go to " Switchports " menu. From there you can select as many ports from whichever switches you have and do your edits.

Is there something I'm missing because that's the first thing I tried and I don't see the ability to manipulate multiple VLANs.

Check the "Type" drop down list from there you can choose access or trunk then VLANs I believe.

@trunolimit You maybe included some trunk ports in your selection? You can't add a voice VLAN to a trunk port, so that's why it's not visible. The "Type" field there says "Multiple Values" and type corresponds to access and trunk. Double check which ports you selected and make sure it's only access ports.

Now that is resolved, surely you don't miss the copy and paste in the terminal window anymore?

I wish Meraki would let us have access to a CLI. choices is good. Or at least let us upload a config we can alter in text.

Someone on the reddit forums said you can use python scripts to do things via the API. I might make learning python my goal for this year.

I agree that it would be useful to pull and download configs etc

I see what the issue was. There was a trunk port hidden within all the access ports.
