Share your TSHOOT v2.0 Experience

January 22nd, 2015 Go to comments
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).

    Do not over-complicate issues. Use MCQ from November update, understand it because questions are framed differently in real exam but it is the same scenario/ answer (for example exhibits may be displayed in exam question which is not displayed in the update, but if you understand the update you will see it is basically same). Sam strategy is also valid. If you get the ticket relating to vlan filter/valn acl drag your cursor to the right sided bar of the answer box and scroll all the way down, that is where the vlan acl option is hidden. Good luck.

    @Bob,
    Sorry that was a typo.
    It should be:
    1.Client1> ping 209.65.200.241 NO – iPV4; Go to step 2 | YES – iPV6; Go to step 9

    But like what I said, you should familiarize yourself to SAM strategy first. Then that guide will be EZ-PZ.
    Also it helps you to answer #2 of all ticket questions.

    @SHISUKA
    congrats besh!

    @Spartan2020 – I’m not sure what “issue” you are referring to. I’m not trying or over-complicating anything – just sharing my experience. Many people were saying here on forum that the answer for Q10 is incorrect (how can it be VTP) and it was because the exhibit is missing.

    BTW, how can you understand the update if every question is missing an important piece of configuration or diagram?

    @Johnny – My reference was not to you but to those who are trying their best to disprove a working formula. I was merely trying to say that the November Update and following Sam strategy can ensure a pass instead of picking holes with the provided answers, yet the provided answers
    do work.

    Hi Guys just passed TSHOOT. NOV MCQ still valid
    BGP HSRP Sims. And all tickets are valid. Nothing unusual. Yes it has a bug where in Nat ticket you can ping outside from DSW1

    @DM 2020 and Ghost, I tested LAB using the missing/fault Ipv6. Client 1 can ping 10.2.1.1. Perhaps, those 3 tickets mentioned earlier were for ipv6.

    @OnlyPrincess
    Thanks for your findings. Just I want to double check. I did not see any IPv6 address in the scenario and all these ticket i missed in the exam, I was not able to ping 10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.2, but able to ping 10.2.1.1. I need your help to find my mistake.

    February 3rd, 2020

    Guess who’s back? Back again :) Guys I passed today thank God. Now time for some feedback:
    All the MCQs & Simlets are valid. For BGP there was a different IP ADDRESS so nothing to worry about. As for the TICKETS, Don’t get me started. Although did they come form this site but Sams Ping Plan didn’t really work on some tickets. Had to use Traceroute etc. Now some tickets also had 2 to 3 problems. 1 had Nat, & OSPF Auth & Security. I spent good 40 mins on that. So be careful. I got 2 tickets wrong I think But pass is a pass. NOW THIS WAS FOR ME. No need to get scared. If you know what you’re doing, you’ll be fine.
    Anyways that’s it for me..Good luck to all those who will do it soon! Thanks Everyone. Peace!

    Hello All
    Where i can get the MCQs for tshoot

  21. @erickTSHOOT
    February 3rd, 2020

    when a ticket comes to you, the 3 questions appear, there is an option to go back, possibly knowing the answer 3 you can know the answer 2 and 1 of each ticket, it is not the idea or the purpose of the exam but could it help?

  22. @James
    February 3rd, 2020

    Just sign up for Premium and the MCQs are all there.

    @Ghost congratulations and thanks for your feedback
    i really appreciate it

    because I saw that someone else get my name (Ghost) I change it and I do it shadow.

    Soon I give the exam and i report the result.

    @Shadow, you are the real Ghost? and the one above who passed exam is Ghost-2?

  26. @Ghost
    February 3rd, 2020

    Re. some tickets have multiple problems.

    Some of the tickets do have the correct port security configured, likewise the correct OSFP auth is configured. For the OSPF one for example, did you check to see if the OSPF was up?

  27. George
    February 3rd, 2020

    Hi Ghost, thanks for the feedback.

    Quick question, if some tickets had more than 1 issue, how did you select the answer if you have only the chance to select 1 affected device, 1 problem and 1 solution???

  28. Please help,
    February 3rd, 2020

    Taking exam in 2 days and trying to figure out the correct answer for ticket 13. I know about no exclude command but do we put in an ip exclude command..or is it on DSW1 rather than R4..any help will do please

  29. tshoot exam
    February 3rd, 2020

    I gave the Tshoot exam on 3/02/2020 and passed.
    All multiple-choice questions and Tshoot tickets are valid.
    There was one confusion where IP helper-address was wrong in DSW1 and fast ethernet ports were err-disabled in ASW1 in the same ticket.
    Please choose the IP helper-address as the answer on DSW1.

  30. Twice
    February 3rd, 2020

    @tshoot exam
    did you see err-disabled by doing “sh int fa1/0/1” in ASW1 or used “sh port-security” command?
