VLAN Mode Management

VLAN settings configuration in Meraki appliances controls the global VLAN mode for network operations, determining whether the appliance operates in single LAN mode or multi-VLAN mode. This fundamental network architecture setting affects how traffic is segmented, routed, and managed across the entire network infrastructure. The VLAN mode setting is a prerequisite configuration that must be established before creating individual VLANs or configuring single LAN operations, making it a critical foundation for network design and security implementation.

Examples

Example-1: The example below demonstrates VLAN settings configuration using tested YAML configuration from pipeline fixtures.

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