I got it working now....   It turns out (in my case) that you can only put IP addresses and IP subnets  in the L3 firewall which are part of your network and VPN. Any other will not be accepted nor inserted.   so if 3.3.3.3/32 is not part of your network, it will not work     ... View more

I think it all depends on what type of login attempt you want. Is it per network , orr SSID , or in your organisation. There is an option for a syslog server. Perhaps setting up a syslog server, and get all the information needed from there. Most likely login attempts will be done there. For now i can only find entries for syslog server on network level   PUT updateNetworkSyslogServers  https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/:networkId/syslogServers   Best regards Ed   ... View more

Hi There,   We have a survey department and they store their GPS locations in a csv file on a server and they update that information on a hourly basis.    I have created a tiny Flask server which i now query to obtain the GPS position of a vessel, and change all devices in meraki which belong to that network on board the vessel...You sent a request to the server and recieve a json file with the lat and lng   It is up and running now, and we see all vessels now in our meraki Map.....   PhilipDAth gave me the idea, and i adapted it for use in my company.   ...

Hi...   I had some issues as well in changing the dhcp option using python, but now it is working..   As an example i have the function i have created including the API call.

Good Morning,   We used templates as well, however due to some freak things, we were not able to autogenerate the VLAN IP addresses anymore. This really sucks... Also due to the nature of binding a network to the template, adding or removing stuff will result in errors.. Also later unbinding the template will have some effects on the current settings....   We in our organisation are not using templates anymore, and start using scripts to create networks and adding devices to that network...    The easiest way would be browsing through your route table but it is not really possible to find a free IP range, so i created a python script which browses though all the networks, creates a list of all used network subnets, and then picks one which is not in use.         ...

Hi   Using Postman is one way of doing it, however If you use Python and the Meraki API call, you can browse through that network, obtain all serials of the devices and the change the objects you want....

Dashboard is the session ID    dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI(api_key)   in the documentation they only work with the REST API and python request .
