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

Good luck EPICRIFF and Star Lord.
I will be waiting for your updates.
@Sam
I only studied November, and hoping it will not change until 23rd February.
New question in exam.
Drag and drop the actions from the left into the correct order on the right to troubleshoot a phone registration issue by using the bottom up approach.
Answers:
1- Confirm that enough power is received by using the PoE
2- Confirm that the phonasde is on the correct VLAN
3- Verify the DHCP server configuration and option 150
4- Verify the configuration file from the TFTP server
@ Burìk ….. I thought u have already pass the exam??
Hi guys. Any takers today feb 1? Are the questions changed?
Hello guys.
Today I passed the 300-135 exam. All the laboratories and simulations as well as the multiple selection questions were very helpful. thank you all for your contributions. The same questions, the same answers.
dont worry you you will have same questions during retake if you failed on your first attempt.
Hi all I got failed the previous time..I was not able to identify weather it is an IPv4 or IPv6 scenario..can you please confirm if the description is there when we click on the ticket?
@Worried about giving the exam,
When you click on the “Ticket ” button which is on the far right side of the menu it will say “…client cannot ping 209.65.200.241 ” ==> which means IPv4.
if it says .. cannot ping 2026::***** ipv6 address which means it is a IPv6 ticket.
Hello guys,
the packet tracer tickets are repeated, anyone getting the same issue? I need a working link to the labs, someone advise. Those who have passed the exam what is the best way to know the question and the topology, I am a premium member.
Thank you.
@chaplinis you mentioned the BGP sim which is included in the premium.
Anyone who has premium account not using,kindly assist me with it at a reduced rate let me know wisam(dot)89engs(at)gmail(dot)com
Im sitting in an hour. I’ll let you know how it goes, I’ll try and remember everything I can
@Discontented thanks and good luck!!
@Discontented Goodluck, do let us know mate
@ab Congrats man
How do we know if the problem is ipv4 or ipv6 in the exam? Can someone explain it to me?
^^^ lmao not again, you being serious ?
Hi Guys,
I passed the Tshoot yesterday, All the questions were from Network Tut.
Thank you guys for sharing your exam experiences.
My simulator crashed. A few of us in the exam room had the same issue at the same time. I’ll need to rebook as we couldn’t finish the exam :(
What I had at the time of the crash:
IP phone DnD
GRE DnD
BGP sim
HSRP sim
Tickets:
Port sec
Switch to switch interconn
Nat outside interface
Ospf auth message-digest
PACL
@Discontented damn that sucks man. which country are you in?
@Ghost UK.
Looks like the test centre had an issue. Gotta wait for PearsonVue to confirm this then I can rebook I think.
@Discontented Didn’t your test centre ring cisco when you were there. Dw you can do it again.
@ghost, don’t know. Came next door to the pub haha
Is ticket ipv4 or ipv6:
Ping from client1 209.65.200.241
OK = ipv6 ticket
Not ok = ipv4 ticket
==============================================================================
Ping 10.1.1.1 -> Yes -> R1
| IP NAT – Int s 0/0/1 change to ip nat outside
| IP NAT – ACL NAT_Traffic permit 10.2.0.0 network
NO BGP – BGP Nei x.x.56.x -> x.x.65.x
| IPv4 L3 Sec – ACL Egde_Sec permit 209.65.xx 0.0.0.3 any
|
Ping 10.1.1.2 -> Yes -> R1
| IPv4 OSPF routing – int s0/0/0 “IP osfp auth message-dig” Mangler
No
|
Ping 10.2.1.1 -> Yes -> R4 Sh ip eigrp nei
| YES – IPv4 route redistribute – route-map OSPF->EIGRP change to OSPF_EIGRP
| YES – IPv4 route redistribute – route-map EIGRP deny 20 -> permit 20
No NO – IPv4 EIGRP routing – Int fa0/0 & 0/1 “no passive-int”
|

DSW1
Vlan ACL/ Port ACL – no vlan filter test 1 vlan-list 10
DHCP – int vlan 10 | IP helper-add 10.1.21.129
ASW1 – Sh run int fa 1/0/1
Port Sec – int ra fa 1/0/1-2 “no switchport port-sec” | “shut/ no shut”
Access Vlan – int ra fa 1/0/1-2 “switchport access vlan 10”
Sh ru int port-c 13
Sw-to-sw – int port-c 13,23 | vlan 10,200 add | no shut int
==============================================================================
IPv6 ticket, from DSW1 – Ping 2026::34:1 & :2
1 – Ping both OK = R2 – IPv6 OSPF Routing – Int S0/0/0.23 missing “ipv6 ospf 6 area 0”
2 – Ping 2026::34:1 Not OK = R3 – IPv4 & IPv6 Interoperability – remove tunnel mode ipv6
3 – Ping both Not OK = R4 – IPv6 OSPF Routing – ospf process add “Redistribute rip RIP_Zone inc-conn”
Just passed today with full mark. All still the same including Nov MCQ. BGP sim etc. Just study hard here and take your time. No rush as I finished within an hour
Passed today with a score of 9xx.
All MCQ frio November are still valid.
One issue is that I got ticket number 6 but the answer was not showing as expected.I couldn’t find the option to remove the VLAN filter. That where I lost the points but everything else was 100% correct.
Got the BGP and HSRP sims and 2 IPV6 tickets.

Yesterday i had my exam and i got 1000/1000. the MCQ is exactly the same as the NOV dump. Please becurfulle with the labs, there is a lot of bugs in the sim, the sim for port security and DHCP ip helper-address. in my exam i had the port security and IP DHCP helper lab in 1 lab, which mean if you do show port-security you will see that port 1/0/1 and 1/0/2 are in shoutdown state and also you will notes that the IP helper is wrong, this is a bug in the exam and ti figure this out i did show mac-address-table and compare the mac address on both interfaces and compare this mac address with what is configured under the interface so i end up choosing the IP dhcp helper answer.
one another SIM for the NAT(inside/outside ) in this simulation client 1 wasn’t able to ping 10.1.1.1 however client 2 was able this was because a bug and client 1 and client 2 had the same ip address 10.2.1.4 and from the DSW1 i was able to ping client 2 on 10.2.1.4 but wasn’t able to ping client 1 on 10.2.1.3
@Saji thanks a lot for your confirmation about the Ipv4 and Ipv6 ticket
Hi, can you please explain this in more details? Doesn’t make sense how you checked the configured mac-address? there isn’t any configured mac-address on any interface.
Salamo alaicom,
I pass the exam yesterday, the exam is really simple if you follow the instruction as described here, if some body need information i am reachable in {email not allowed}
