Meraki

Hello all, I am trying to write a script but want to ask if this is possible before I mess around with any misplaced licenses. I know that the following call does not work for coterm orgs and is only applicable to PDL: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-organization-licenses I'm guessing that the update counterpart of this API call that allows you to claim licenses also doesn't work for coterm. Can anyone confirm my hypothesis? https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!update-organization-license Is there also any other way to license info for coterm orgs? There is the call below which works but doesn't give much. https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-organization-licenses-overview Thank you

Tita, I'm not really sure why you would want this on the dashboard, what is the idea behind putting this there?

Hey Tita, Could you please elaborate what you mean by contract number? Is this to do with an order number, or the contract signed with a client you are managing?

There is no inherent backup possibility within the dashboard. I'm very sure however that you are at no risk of losing your configurations by upgrading the firmware, so I really wouldn't worry about it 😊

I'm running a script that loops through many orgs and it's quite clear that certain orgs on specific shards are experiencing a ton of latency. Most of the orgs however are doing just fine. It also seems to be specific API calls on specific orgs that are timing out.

Wonder why it's happening to me then.. I'll investigate on my end. Cheers anyway though and have a nice weekend

AutomationDude · ‎Jan 21 2022

Are you guys seeing any errors again? Things still seem to timeout for me. Are you still using the API gateway or just making the calls directly to the shard now?

@Martin_Rowan I also seem to be having major issues with the API. Lots of calls seem to be timing out and scripts that would normally run < 1 minute are taking 5+ minutes to complete. Wonder what the problem is but I doubt support has any answers 😄

I hear you! Was messing about with the firmware update call and one of the firmware release types was "candidate", which I'm not really clear about. They definitely need to tell us all the possible return values for a call and what they mean. I believe for the device status call online and offline are the only two possibilites. I was able to find this for you: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Monitoring_and_Reporting/Appliance_Status/MX_Uplink_Settings If you look at the Uplink Status section you should be able to find the possible states. I completely agree with you though!

Congrats to everybody who is a part of this community

Hello, I don't think there is a way to do this natively within Meraki, but you can write a python script with the API call shared above to get and then write that information to a CSV file. Hope this helps!

Hi Aidan, Don't worry, this is normal expected behaviour from the API as there is a limit of 1000 for entries returned. This has been discussed a few times on the community before so here are some links for you to gain a better understanding and find a solution: https://community.meraki.com/t5/Developers-APIs/Limited-search/m-p/102863 https://community.meraki.com/t5/Developers-APIs/How-can-I-specify-a-time-range-using-GET-networks-networkId/m-p/60615 https://community.meraki.com/t5/Developers-APIs/Retrieving-more-than-2-pages-of-1000-clients-from-GET-networks/m-p/61495 Essentially, you will need to make a 2nd and 3rd API call and define a new starting point in order to obtain all of the networks. Hope this helps!

Hello hcoq, Nice method you got there! I believe you're running into an error here because the call is dashboard.organizations instead of dashboard.networks (Naturally because we are creating this network at the org level). Here's a link to the API endpoint: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!create-organization-network I may be getting ahead of myself here, but you may run into further errors because you seem to be inputting net_type and tags as strings but the expected input for this is a list. You can use the split() method to turn a string to a list. Hope this helps, everything else looks great!

I will add a 3rd layer of agreement here. The API call only works for per device licensing. How annoying is that considering the amount of partners that find license management frustrating and could be aided by the ability to obtain all their coterm licenses.

Hello! These are not the same things. if you could clarify what you're trying to do then we would be able to answer your question a lot better! The hotspot functionality is for service providers to streamline the process of bringing client devices onto the network. Check out this link to understand Passpoint The Splash page functionality is for controlling the authentication method to your WiFi. A splash page is what the user sees when they try to enter your network (You typically see this in hotels and airports) Hope this helps! Feel free to elaborate on what you're trying to achieve and we might be able to help you more 🙂

Hey @GiovanniA, My company does this regularly and we have a platform built out where you can do this! Here's a link that explains further: https://www.boundlessdigital.com/network-management/meraki-automation/provisioning/ Looking forward to hearing from you 🙂

Hey Alain, Welcome to the community. I work at a French company too and recently took the ECMS1. Plan to take the ECMS2 soon as well! Feel free to send me a message if you want to discuss anything 🙂

AutomationDude · ‎Apr 13 2021

Welcome aboard mate 🙂 Better late than never, with your breadth of expertise I'm sure you'll be a pro in no time

AutomationDude · ‎Apr 8 2021

I understand your problem, but you are unfortunately in a paradox 😔 You're trying to tell your orgs to do something with the APIs, but how could this ever be possible when the APIs aren't enabled? Now it would be theoretically awesome if there was one such API touchpoint that acted as kind of gate for the other touchpoints, but the security risk would be too immense for this to ever happen and it also probably wouldn't make sense 😄 I'm afraid you'll have to do this one thing the old school way!

Thank you everyone, next step is making it to the top 4! 😈

Hey Freddy, did you check out this article? https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Encryption_and_Authentication/Sponsored_Guest Goes into detail about the sponsored access. Also check out this post as it might be helpful: https://community.meraki.com/t5/Wireless-LAN/Sponsored-Guest-returning-users-auth-problem/td-p/56013 If it isn't a returning user problem then it would make sense to open a support ticket

Hey Simon, I have been a fan of your podcast ever since I started working with Meraki and its been enormously helpful by enabling me to understand everything about the Meraki ecosystem. Your podcast was one of the things that inspired me to start a room on clubhouse called the The Future of Networking, and so this episode was particularly interesting as it deals with the same field! I would love for you to listen in this coming Wednesday https://www.joinclubhouse.com/event/mW6Jqwda It would really be a pleasure of mine to host you some time in the future! 😁

Hey Manjinder! Welcome to the community, you'll find a few very knowledgable people while the rest of us just come here to learn 😇

Hey Sunmedia, Welcome to the community!

AutomationDude · ‎Apr 1 2021

Awesome feature! Next step is to integrate with the ticketing system and then use the ML from the health app to solve the problem before it becomes a ticket 😋
