Update SNMP Community String across all networks

[AJ-Acevedo]

I'm looking to update the SNMP v2c community string on all of the devices in an Organization spanning several networks. Is there a way to update SNMP across all networks? I can only find a way to update SNMP manually under each individual network.

With dozens of networks under a single Organization this is a very tedious process. Hopefully there is an easier way.

Thanks!

Welcome to the dashboard API! I recommend Python for this but eh, you can use PowerShell too.

1) Use "List the organizations a user has privileges on" to get your org ID.

2) Use "List the networks in an organization" to build a list of network IDs.

3) Loop through each item on that list. Feed the network ID into "Update the SNMP settings for a network", alongside a JSON block with your SNMP settings.

As mentioned in my original post, I am aware I can manually update the SNMP string on each network manually. I’m looking for a way to bulk update all networks simultaneously.

What I described is a way to bulk update, via scripting. Meraki's designed so that a lot of bulk changes are executed by the Dashboard API. Partly, I think, so someone can't bork up an entire organization's networks at once with a misclick.

It's a fairly simple script to dash off if you're familiar with interacting with an API and feeding data into a for-loop. In this case, you want a list of your network IDs and a variable with the JSON for your desired SNMP settings.

Even if you're not familiar, if you've got some programming experience, it should be relatively quick to pick up.
