Share your TSHOOT v2.0 Experience
| Note: The last day to take this TSHOOT 300-135 exam is February 23, 2020. After this day you have to take new Enterprise exams to get new CCNP Enterprise certification. If you want to find out more about the new exams please visit here. |
This article is devoted for candidates who took the TSHOOT exam to share their experience. Please tell us what are your materials, the way you learned, your feeling and experience after taking the TSHOOT v2.0 exam… But please DO NOT share any information about the detail of the exam or your personal information, your score, exam date and location, your email…
Your posts are warmly welcome!
Exam’s Structure:
+ Some Multiple choice & drag drop questions
+ 2 Simlets
+ 15 lab-sim Questions with the same network topology (15 troubleshooting tickets or you can call it one “big” question). Each lab-sim is called a ticket and you can solve them in any order you like.
Topics of the lab-sims:
1- IPv6
2- OSPF
3- OSPFv3
4- Frame Relay
5- GRE
6- EtherChannel
7- RIPng
8- EIGRP
9- Redistribution
10- NTP
11- NAT
12- BGP
13- HSRP
14- STP
15- DHCP
The problems are rather simple. For example wrong IP assignment, disable or enable a command, authentication…
In each tickets you will have to answer three types of questions:
+ Which device causes problem
+ Which technology is used
+ How to fix it
When you press Done to finish each case, you can’t go back.
A demo of the TSHOOT Exam can be found at: http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/le2/le37/le10/tshoot_demo.html
Note:
+ In the new TSHOOTv2, you cannnot use the “Abort” button anymore. Therefore you cannot check the configuration of another ticket before completing the current ticket.
+ We have gathered many questions about TSHOOT exam and posted them at TSHOOT FAQs & Tips, surely you will find useful information about the TSHOOT exam there!
Below are the topologies of the real TSHOOT exam, you are allowed to study these topologies before taking the exam. It surely saves you some invaluable time when sitting in the exam room (Thanks rrg for sharing this).
IPv4 Layer 3 Topology
IPv6 Layer 3 Topology
Layer 2-3 Topology

@ab & all
the “2026::2:1” is R4 interface from IPv6 topology. But I ask about the concept if it is working to start with private IPs in real exam like from client PING 10.1.1.1 and after that to the bottom or opposite and also the same for IPv6 tickets to start to ping 2026::2:1 from R1 to R4 etc.
Am i right ? is it working at the real exam as here?
Hi, maybe cut the guys a bit of slack with the APIPA question – I had to look it up (I understood that it meant an automatically assigned IP address from Windows, but didn’t know the acronym exactly meant Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)) – I always used to call them 169. addresses from seeing the damn things so often because of dodgy DHCP.
What is annoying though is that a quick google search shows the answer immediately. Why post when they can just search?
@pique this is all you need mate. Stop confusing yourself, just use this & it’ll be easier for you.

im gonna use this one on exam, rest depends on my luck lmao. People who have already passed, does it work??
@ghost i personally know 2 people who have passed the exam in my team and both used this strategy :) one got 1000 points the other 960 so you can imagine the banter in the office.
@ab yh word. thx for letting me know. i’ll stick to it. Doing it next week. Tbh im getting bored nw, just want it to get over with…
– APIPA, switch to switch connectivity..add vlan 10 to po13 and 23
2- IPV6 R3 had tunnel mode ipv6
3- R1 ospf authentication digest
4- IPV6 enable ospf on s0/0/0.23 on R3
5- R4 OSPF_TO_EIGRP route-map
6- R4 Passive int default in eigrp
7- HSRP tracking wrong int on DSW1
8- APIPA…DHCP helper add wrong on DSW1
9- R1 IP NAT inside instead of outside for internal networks.
10- DSW1 blocking routes drdhue to test VACL
11- ASW1 has trunk port instead of access for client 1 and 2.
@ghost me to board and also take next week been living and breathing cisco since november last year been through switch/route in the year and now this is the last one
@ab haha same, well good luck
@ghost you too good luck hopefully we will be both celebrating!
Hi all.
Does anybody know if it is enough to learn the 12 Q from:
updated on 13th-Nov-2019?
Passed today. The material provided by the Premium Membership is 100% valid. No surprises.
Thank you Networktut – excellent work!
Good luck for everyone!
Passed yesterday. The material provided by the Premium Membership is 100% valid. MCQ November
BGP sim
HSRP sim
Thank you Networktut – excellent work!
Hi guys, short question regarding SAM-strategy: Looking at it is it true that IPv4-issues are only on devices R1, R4, DSW1, ASW1 (not on R2 or R3)? And IPv6 will only be issues on devices R2, R3 and R4?
@go-tshoot
Yes its true.
Passed today
Thanks Networktut
Hey guys I passed today any1 want help
Ask questions nw
I lost
He is unable to resolve issues in time.
I had problems solving ticket.
Bad feeling.
I am planning to give exam after 2 weeks kindly help me if possible with free dumps and tips..
contact me hammad_hanif(at)Hotmail.co.uk
it will be great if someone help me.. I already paid to much money for these exam feeling broke now.
Thankyou!
Just passed today, 100% valid Q&A + LABS, just study carefully and you will pass. Big thank you to networktut
Passed today – 30.01.2020 – with full SCORE and absolutely no surprises.
MCQ, Simlets, Tickets here on Networktut are still 100% valid.
@hammad – Get the Premium here. It let’s you practice and get much more information. I have it, and it is great. I think it is what I need to pass the exam.
congrats guys!
Passed today, everything valid: TSHOOT_Nov_2019.pdf + SAM strategy + EIGRP and BGP Simlets.
i taked exam and failed, i had a ticket and i cant fix it because it looks like ticket 7 but eigrp was ok, and asw1 cant reach the ip but dsw1 can, and port channel were ok vlans ok, no acl filter and asw1 can ping any ip of dsw1, but trace stop in dsw1. dsw1 can ping anywhere. really i can find soution. i will take the exam again, but do you know if repeat the same tickets or maybe i will lucky and this ticket dont assign to me.
look like ticket 14, sorry
How do you get a refund and cancel the double payment for membership?
Guys,
All you need to do is ping from the client and you will come to know where and which device is the issue.
Only fort IPV6 you need to ping from R1 to R3 and R4.
That’s all, i wonder why people fail, its so easy.
@failed: Only Client1 for IPv4 ping and R1 for IPv6 ping and the rest cases are APIPA which you should check first if client1 has an DHCP assigned IP or not… for guys who get confused with SAM strategy, it is better to use SID strategy commonly known as NULLZERO these days…
@Paid twice: Please contact the merchant email which should show up in your payment receipt email.
Let me explain the SID Strategy in easy steps:
Steps (First check if it is IPv4 or IPV6 tickets, if IPv4):
Step1: Check Client 1 if it has an APIPA or DHCP assigned IP, if APIPA, 3 possible issues:
DSW1: DHCP, ASW1: PortSecurity or ASW1: Switch-Switch Connectivity(vlan 10,200+f1/0/1 no shut)
Step2: If Client1 is not APIPA and has a DHCP assigned IP then ping R1, if you can reach R1 @10.1.1.1 then, 5 possible issues: 1 at DSW1: HSRP or one of the 4 at R1: BGP, 2xNAT or IPv4 L3 Security(ACL to permit 209 n/w).
Step3: If can’t ping R1 but can ping R2 @ 10.1.1.2 then: only 1 in R1: IPv4 OSPF (meesage-digest)
Step4: If can’t ping R2 (10.1.1.2) the try ping DSW1 @ 10.2.1.1, if yes you can then: 4 x R4 (All EIGRP related) – EIGRP AS#, 2xIPv4 RouteRedis-routemap or EIGRP(passive int)
Step5: If can’t ping 10.2.1.1 then: 3 possible issues… 1 DSW1 (VACL/Port ACL, remove filter) or 2xASW1: Access VLAN (f1/0/1-2 not part of VLAN 10 or they are trunk, make them access and remove encapsulation).
====
IF IPV6 then:
Step1: If R1 can’t ping R3 @2026::1:2 then: R2 (IPv6 OSPF Routing-‘ipv6 ospf 6 area 0’ under s0.23 missing)
Step2: If can ping R3 but not R4@2026::34:2 then: R3 (IPv4-IPv6 Interoperability – remove ‘tunnel mode ipv6’ from under tunnel34 int)
Step3: If can reach R4@2026::34:2 then: R4 (IPv6 OSPF Routing – redistribute rip command missing).
And this is all you need to know about tickets part…!
