Network Settings Management

General network settings in Meraki provide foundational configuration options that control core network behaviors and administrative features. These settings enable management of status pages, secure communication ports, VLAN naming conventions, and various network-wide operational parameters. Network settings establish the baseline configuration that affects all devices and services within the network, providing centralized control over security policies, monitoring capabilities, and administrative access methods.

    - name: "!env domain"
      administrator:
        name: "!env org_admin"
      organizations:
        - name: "!env org"
          networks:
            - name: "!env network_name"
              product_types:
                - appliance
                - switch
                - wireless
                - camera
                - sensor
