Backup and Update scripts for L3 ACL rules across all networks within a single Meraki organisation.

This project aims to provide the scripts needed to automate the interaction with maintaining L3 ACL rules across multiple networks in a single Meraki organisation.

Currently the project will provide script to carry out the following tasks:

1. Back up the existing configuration for each Network in a single Meraki organisation to a dedicated JSON file.

2. Append new rules onto the end of the existing L3 ACL for each network in a single Meraki organisation while maintaining a Deny Any Any at the end.

You will need to ensure you have the following information from the Meraki dashboard prior to using this project:

1. Meraki API Key with either RO (Backup only) or RW.
2. Meraki Organisation ID.

The easiest way to download the project is to clone the repository via Git.
