Meraki API: Get DNS Records?

[ShuningWu14393]

We are collecting different records from Cisco Meraki API for a customer. So far we are successfully getting all network device information, but the customer has a request to fetch the DNS entries from Meraki. 

Some questions regarding this:

• If we understand correctly, Meraki is an MDM solution and does not manage DNS records?
• From Meraki API documentation, it does not seem to provide much information about DNS entries either?

Any insights would be very helpful.

Hi @ShuningWu14393,

I looked through the Meraki Dashboard API v1 docs for Postman and the most DNS detail I saw was something like this:

"ddnsHostnames": {
"activeDdnsHostname": "mx1-sample.dynamic-m.com",
"ddnsHostnameWan1": "mx1-sample-1.dynamic-m.com",
"ddnsHostnameWan2": "mx1-sample-2.dynamic-m.com"
},

and

"dnsCustomNameservers": [
"172.16.2.111",
"172.16.2.30"
]

I guess you already saw the Meraki Dashboard API v1 docs?

I've asked a Meraki expert to take a look at this question, so hopefully we'll hear more soon!

Thanks for the reply! Yes, this is what we found as well, but these seem to be some management interface settings on the device itself.

The Meraki people have responded that we have the right answer and they have nothing to add.
