Key Capabilities
| Operation | API Method | What It Does |
|-----------|-----------|--------------|
| List ports | getDeviceSwitchPorts | All ports with VLAN, type (access/trunk), PoE, STP, tagging |
| Update port | updateDeviceSwitchPort | [WRITE] VLAN, name, type, enabled, PoE, RSTP, tags, BPDU guard |
| Port statuses | getDeviceSwitchPortStatuses | Live status: speed, duplex, CRC errors, traffic counters, PoE draw |
| Cycle ports | cycleDeviceSwitchPorts | [WRITE] Bounce ports for PoE reset or client reconnection |
| List VLANs | getSwitchVlans | Network VLANs with ID, name, subnet, appliance IP |
| Create VLAN | createSwitchVlan | [WRITE] New VLAN with ID, name, subnet, appliance IP |
| Get ACLs | getDeviceSwitchAccessControlLists | Access control list rules on the switch |
| Update ACLs | updateDeviceSwitchAccessControlLists | [WRITE] Modify ACL rules |
| Get QoS rules | getDeviceSwitchQosRules | QoS rules: VLAN, protocol, port, DSCP |
| Create QoS rule | createDeviceSwitchQosRule | [WRITE] New QoS rule for traffic prioritization |
Workflow: Switch Port Audit
When a user asks "show me the switch ports on MS-Floor1":
- Find switch:
getNetworkDevices(meraki-network-ops) to find the switch serial - List ports:
getDeviceSwitchPorts— all port configurations - Port statuses:
getDeviceSwitchPortStatuses— live speed, duplex, PoE, errors - Flag issues: ports with CRC errors, PoE overload, speed mismatch, disabled
- VLANs:
getSwitchVlans— verify VLAN assignments are correct - Report: port table with status, VLAN, PoE, errors, and recommendations
Workflow: VLAN Provisioning
When adding a new VLAN:
- Check existing:
getSwitchVlans— verify VLAN ID isn't already in use - ServiceNow CR: create change request for VLAN addition
- Create VLAN:
createSwitchVlanwith ID, name, subnet, gateway - Assign ports:
updateDeviceSwitchPorton target ports to set new VLAN - Verify:
getDeviceSwitchPortStatuses— ports up with correct VLAN - Record: GAIT audit trail
Workflow: Port Troubleshooting
When a user reports "device on port 24 isn't working":
- Port config:
getDeviceSwitchPortsfor port 24 — VLAN, type, PoE, enabled - Port status:
getDeviceSwitchPortStatuses— link state, speed, errors, PoE draw - Client:
getDeviceClients— what's connected to this port? - If PoE issue: check wattage draw vs budget
- If link down:
cycleDeviceSwitchPortsto bounce the port (requires CR or emergency) - ACLs:
getDeviceSwitchAccessControlLists— is traffic being blocked? - Report: diagnosis with fix (VLAN mismatch, PoE overload, cable issue, ACL block)
Integration with Other Skills
| Skill | How They Work Together |
|-------|----------------------|
| meraki-network-ops | Provides device/network context for switch operations |
| meraki-monitoring | Live diagnostics: cable test, ping, LED blink for switch identification |
| pyats-topology | Compare Meraki switch port data with pyATS CDP/LLDP for hybrid environments |
| servicenow-change-workflow | Gate all port changes, VLAN creation, and ACL modifications |
| gait-session-tracking | Record all switch operations in audit trail |
Important Rules
- Port changes affect connected devices — changing VLAN or disabling a port disconnects the endpoint
- BPDU guard should be enabled on all access ports — flag any access port without it
- Port cycling is a controlled action — requires ServiceNow CR unless emergency
- ACL changes are network-wide — affect all ports on the switch
- Record in GAIT — log all switch port audits and configuration changes

Human-in-the-loop escalation via HumanRail — route low-confidence agent decisions, pre-destructive operation approvals, and ambiguous incident tickets to real human engineers. Human answers are verified and returned as structured output. Workers are paid via Lightning Network. Use when the agent is uncertain, when a destructive change needs explicit human sign-off beyond a ServiceNow CR, or when an ambiguous ticket requires human triage before automated handling.
