Enable DHCP and DHCP options with Meraki_vlan about ansible-meraki HOT 5 CLOSED

I would need to test meraki_vlan working against a layer 3 switch but I suspect it would only work with an MX appliance. Are you trying to setup an SVI on a layer 3 switch?

meraki_vlan has the ability to configure DHCP settings. I can see how it's not very obvious. It supports reserved IP ranges, fixed IP assignments, etc.

This all has my attention because I'm working on putting my existing infrastructure into code. I have 10 interfaces on my MS350 switch stack I'm trying to replicate. Some have DHCP settings, others do not. The MS350 also can do OSPF on the interfaces, which I have configured.

On the MX, I see the reserved and fixed IP's in meraki_vlan but I don't see how you'd turn the DHCP server on or off from the options shown in the documentation.

I looked into this and indeed, the meraki_vlan module lacks a full suite of DHCP options. I need to decide whether to create a new module called meraki_dhcp or if I should fold it into meraki_vlan. I’m leaning toward the latter. OSPF isn’t configurable via the API yet (https://dashboard.meraki.com/api_docs) as far as I can tell. If I’m missing it, please direct me to the endpoint and I’ll look into it.

I haven’t tested whether meraki_vlan works on a MS device yet.

It makes sense to me that the DHCP options would be with the meraki_vlan since it's a one-to-one relationship. I tested creating new VLANs on a test device and it enabled the DHCP server by default.

I don't see OSPF settings in the API either. I don't see any way to set an SVI on a switch from the API. That's going to give me trouble.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll add more DHCP options to meraki_vlan in the coming week or two.
