net_name string added in 2.9 |  | Name of network.
org_id string |  | ID of organization.
org_name string |  | Name of organization. aliases: organization
output_format string | Choices: snakecase ← camelcase | Instructs module whether response keys should be snake case (ex. `net_id`) or camel case (ex. `netId`).
output_level string | Choices: debug normal ← | Set amount of debug output during module execution.
peer_ips - |  | Semi-colon delimited IP addresses which can perform SNMP queries.
rate_limit_retry_time integer | Default: 165 | Number of seconds to retry if rate limiter is triggered.
state - | Choices: query present ← | Specifies whether SNMP information should be queried or modified.
timeout integer | Default: 30 | Time to timeout for HTTP requests.
use_https boolean | Choices: no yes ← | If `no`, it will use HTTP. Otherwise it will use HTTPS. Only useful for internal Meraki developers.
use_proxy boolean | Choices: no yes | If `no`, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts.
users list added in 2.9 |  | Information about users with access to SNMP. Only relevant if `access` is set to `users`.
| passphrase string added in 2.9 |  | Passphrase for user SNMP access.
| username string added in 2.9 |  | Username of user with access.
v2c_enabled boolean | Choices: no yes | Specifies whether SNMPv2c is enabled.
v3_auth_mode - | Choices: MD5 SHA | Sets authentication mode for SNMPv3.
v3_auth_pass - |  | Authentication password for SNMPv3. Must be at least 8 characters long.
v3_enabled boolean | Choices: no yes | Specifies whether SNMPv3 is enabled.
v3_priv_mode - | Choices: DES AES128 | Specifies privacy mode for SNMPv3.
v3_priv_pass - |  | Privacy password for SNMPv3. Must be at least 8 characters long.
validate_certs boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Whether to validate HTTP certificates.

## Notes

Note

- More information about the Meraki API can be found at https://dashboard.meraki.com/api_docs.

- Some of the options are likely only used for developers within Meraki.

- As of Ansible 2.9, Meraki modules output keys as snake case. To use camel case, set the `ANSIBLE_MERAKI_FORMAT` environment variable to `camelcase`.

- Ansible’s Meraki modules will stop supporting camel case output in Ansible 2.13. Please update your playbooks.
