This is a fork of the Meraki Provision Sites script. It adds the ability to provision
cellular gateway networks along, with the others. It also adds a tracking tag to execute seprate scripts like mod-mx-ip
to newly created sites.
This is a Python 3 script to provision template-based networks with manually defined VLAN subnets
to Meraki dashboard.
Syntax:
python provision_sites.py -k <api key> -o <org name> -i <input file> [-n <net type> -u <update mode>]
Mandatory parameters:
-k <api key> : Your Meraki Dashboard API key
-o <org name> : The name of the dashboard organization you want to provision the sites into
-i <input file> : Name of the CSV file containing info for the networks to be created
Optional parameters:
-n <net type> : Product types to create networks for. Must match templates used. Valid options:
-n appliance MX/Z3 appliances only (default)
-n appliance-wireless MX/Z3 appliances and MR Wi-Fi access points
-n appliance-switch MX/Z3 appliances and MS switches
-n appliance-wireless-switch MX/Z3 appliances, MR Wi-Fi APs and MS switches
-n appliance-wireless-switch-cellular MX/Z3 appliances, MR Wi-Fi APs, MS switches, and MGs
-u <update mode> : Whether to update existing or fail script if the organization already contains networks
with names that match the ones in the input file. Valid forms:
-u fail Interrupts script if network is not new (default)
-u update Attempts to update existing networks to match input file
Usage example:
python provision_sites.py -k 1234 -o "Big Industries Inc" -i site_info.csv

Required Python 3 modules:
Requests : http://docs.python-requests.org
After installing Python, you can install these additional modules using pip with the following commands:
pip install requests
Notes:
* Depending on your operating system, the commands for python and pip may be "python3" and "pip3" instead
* Use double quotes to enter names containing spaces in the Windows command line
* For the script to work, VLANs to be modified will need to be set to "unique" subnetting in dashboard
* The script executes most configuration tasks as action batches for scalability. If one task fails, its
whole batch will fail with it. Refer to the script's command line output for which tasks have been grouped
together as batches and whether executing a batch has produced errors
* Including the location (street address) of your network to the input file will result in devices being
repositioned on the world map to match this address. If you wish to prevent this for a network, leave
this cell blank
