Querying port media type

briankram — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 14:50:05 GMT

Is there an API call that can tell me what the media type of each of a switch's ports are? Essentially, I need to be able to tell if a given port is either a RJ45 or SFP port. As far as I can tell, nether the DeviceSwitchPorts or DeviceSwitchPortsStatuses api provides that information.

There is currently no Meraki API endpoint that returns the physical media type for each switch port. But maybe this can help you.

That is unfortunate.
