Update network SNMP v3 Privacy via API

[Heef]

Hi  -- Using the provided endpoint here:

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/update-network-snmp/

It doesn't look like we can set the SNMP v3 Privacy Mode (or anything other than user/pass).  I can't seem to find another endpoint to do this.  If I clear the snmp config (access:none) and add it back, it still defaults me to DES.  Maybe we could get a default of AES or get the field added to the endpoint?

With the Web Developer tools within a browser you might find a hidden API to do this. Have you checked this? You obviously need to structure the json yourself at that point.

Yeah, you're hitting the same wall we hit. The endpoint exposes the auth params but not the privacy passphrase, so you can't actually bootstrap SNMPv3 end to end through the API today.

Three workarounds we use depending on how much volume you have:

1. Pre-stage SNMPv3 in a config template and clone networks from it.
2. Dashboard once for the privacy field, API for everything else.
3. File a feature request, and bump it here so it actually moves up the queue.

It's a tiny endpoint, but it's annoying at scale because it forces a manual step into a flow that's otherwise clean.

@Heef Noel-Edouard Chenu @ Boundless @I3udder We hear you and are actually working on updating this API operation right now to be able to set the privacy mode and hope to have it live in production in about a week. I'll circle back once it is released.
