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

@jenney
There is 1 ticket that
1. APIPA
2. DHCP helper address is incorrect on DSW1
3. Has Port Security on ASW1.
I just answered DHCP helper can someone confirm if this is the correct answer or not?
Answer : DHCP helper address
@Awesome network engineer
Perfect, thanks for sharing, I think this is exactly what I missed on my exam that failed. I saw APIPA and assumed DHCP problem twice, instead of checking portsec or vlans on the trunk…
Am I CCNP certified already?
took the exam
2015 switch
2017 march route
2020 jan tshoot
How can I verify it? Thanks…
Hi Everyone!
Pay attention to Ticket 11, it now has 2 solutions, I think I picked the wrong one by following blindly and not thinking.
The answer is not always just changing the name OSPF -> EIGRP to “OSPF_TO_EIGRP”. Sometimes you need to change hte route map “route map OSPF-> EIGRP permit 20” instead of “deny 20”.
@Anonymous you will receive a congratulations mail together with a CCNP badge.
Also check your cisco profile.
It may take a week or two.
Anon, Once you start a Cisco Exam track, you must complete all required exams within a 3 year period to earn certification. Your Switch test would have already fallen off, but you may still retake that one before the day you took route in 2017 to earn CCNP.
@Anonymous
As I know, one exam validate only 1 year. So, your switch and route exam most likely overdue. For more information visit cisco.com..
@Anonymous as far as I know, you have to take the 3 exams (R, SW, TSHOOT) within 3 years to get the full CCNP.
Also CCNP have a 3 year window from the day you pass the 1st exam to the day you pass the last one.
Anyone can confirm that?
@dolapez
The exam is the same for the second time?
@1ManTim
What ticket questions were on the exam?
i will take exam in 3 hours…will keep you updated!
Tickets I encountered:
iPv4:
*R1 – IP Nat (inside -> outside)
*R1 – OSPF Routing (Authentication)
*R4 – Route Redistribution (O->E O_to_E)
*R4 – EIGRP Routing (no passive int)
*DSW1 – IP DHCP (ip-helper)
*DSW1 – VLAN ACL (vlan-filter) [scroll down to see VLAN ACL from choices]
*ASW1 – SW-to-SW connectivity (0.23/no shut)
*ASW1 – Access VLAN (No Encapsulation)
IPv6:
*R2 – IPv6 OSPF Routing (Area 0)
*R3 – IPv4 & IPv6 Interoperability (Tunnel Mode)
I wrote it down based on my strategy.
Passed today. All questions, tickets, D&D from here, premium account. Don’t listen to people trying to scare you. It is however unlikely to change anything since on the 23rd they will stop the exam. Read everything carefully even you have the impression you may know already the answer, read, read, read! take your time. Success!
MCQ from November, all tickets form here.
Guys, I tried to figure out where I failed, 793/1000
I received all question from November dump and I’m sure to have clear question. Also I think to have failed bgp simlet and 1 or 2 ticket but not more.
On bgp simlet actual config was:
R1(config)#router bgp 64520
R1(config-router)#neighbor IBGP peer-group
R1(config-router)#neighbor IBGP remote-as 64550 (not existing AS)
R1(config-router)#neighbor IBGP next hop(not remember)
R1(config-router)#neighbor IBGP update loop back 0 (don’t remember)
R1(config-router)#neighbor 209.165.227.2 remote-as 64525
R1(config-router)#neighbor 172.x.x.x (seems loopback on an other router)
R1(config-router)#neighbor 172.x.x.y (seems loopback on an other router)
The config that I enter
R1(config)#router bgp 64520
R1(config-router)#neighbor IBGP peer-group
R1(config-router)#neighbor IBGP remote-as 645525
R1(config-router)#neighbor IBGP next hop(not remember)
R1(config-router)#neighbor IBGP update loop back 0 (don’t remember)
R1(config-router)#neighbor 209.165.201.2 remote-as 64525
R1(config-router)#neighbor 172.x.x.x (seems loopback on an other router)
R1(config-router)#neighbor 172.x.x.y (seems loopback on an other router)
When I deleted this line:
neighbor IBGP remote-as 64550 (not existing AS)
I needed to recreate the peer group, also I reimput the 2 other line.
Also I dont deleted the 2 line:
neighbor 172.x.x.x (seems loopback on an other router)
neighbor 172.x.x.y (seems loopback on an other router)
I check the result of show ip route was the same like in the question.
Somebody can help me?
Also fo the ticket, I have twice the same issue so I think that I failed:
On R2 I have twice ip ospf authentication message-digest but not on R1.
Ping was not good on 10 1.1.1 but good on 10.1.1.2 on both
I followed the Sam method, So I dont understand.
Also someone can tell me how to understand my score
Network principe 100%
L2 76%
L3 86%
VPN 67%
Security 100%
infrastructure 0%
Passed today! 1000/1000
everything here is still valid. I can confirm no changes!
GL to others..
@Dolapez
Please update.
Someone that had the exam for the second time it will be the same?
What is difference between passed guys and failed guys??
Someone who failed say “All questions from here ,but faild.”
Someone who passed say “All questions from here. Thanks networktut!”
Did Failed guys made something simple mistake?
or looks same but actually very difference?
Hi
Is there anyone who experienced Drag & Drop Questions In T Shoot Exam?
@SDS you have right with the 3 years, and cicso doesn’t warn about this.
just passed. all from here came! good luck to everyone. thanks networktut.
Hello all,
I have just passed the exam and ALL is the same than here (MQCs from November update, the BGP and HSRP simlets and the tickets) so don’t worry and good luck.
Thanks networktut!!
Someone that had the exam for the second time it will be the same?
@leo, you set the wrong IBGP neighbor.
it should be:
#router bgp 64520
#neighbor IBGP remote-as 64520
#no neighbor remote-as 64525
#neighbor remote-as 64525
then as the instructions say in the simlet, you just need to verify the output of “show bgp neighbor” or “show ip route” whichever it was. If it’s the same as instructions you have passed the simlet.
@Anonymous, I failed, but had a rough night with 4 hours sleep before exam, then there was no parking at test center and had to run a couple of blocks to the test center.
had a lot of stress and as a result I messed up 1 or 2 HSRP questions from the simlet, as well as some IPv4 ticket on ASW1 or DHCP helper. for sure I missed the port security question (didn’t verify errdisabled status in show ip interfaces, and didn’t check DHCP helper properly)
rookie mistakes, I should have been able to pass with the material from here. $300 down the drain and another attempt before 23rd.
@Leo, you need to look at the neighbor IP based on the topology. remove the bad IP and put the IP from the topology. then confirm output based on ticket info.
I failed, but not to scare people, I just had a bad day. material here should be good if you study them enough.
and best advice is to read. read. read again. there’s plenty of time in the exam, don’t stress through it or you will likely fail with an hour left on the clock.
@Anon
“..
#no neighbor remote-as 64525
#neighbor remote-as 64525
..”
The IPs are missing form this two lines!
Ok team, I finally passed today 1000/1000.
Even though I got all the marks, I can´t say the exam is easy, you got to be careful, it is still Cisco so the exams are tricky.
Some tickets are a bit different, for example you will see port security (MAC) in several tickets but if you check the Interfaces they are NOT Err-disabled, so the issue Is not port security, do not get confused. In the ¨IP NAT Outsite¨ ticket, the behavior is a bit different compared to NetworkTud, all the devices are able to ping the Web server but the computers can´t, do not get confused.
The IPv6 tickets, I got 2, (R3 tunnel 34 and R2 lack of OSPF command), the description of the scenario is different you will see 2026::X:X instead of 209.65.200.241. Also the computers can ping the web server since the beginning.
SIMs are exactly what you can see in this site.
Premiun Networktud is perfect to pass the exam, just practice the tickets very well and make sure you understand all of them perfectly.
Good Luck….
@jj yeah, networktut website acting up, I put the IPs in the text field, but they were removed after posting :/
for the ‘no neighbor’ write as is in the running config.
for the ‘neighbor #IP# remote-as, use the IP from the topology on the exam. NOT this website.
Has anyone on here taken this twice and if so where the questions the same both times?
I was going through the null zero strategy. I understood everything except APIPA. Can please anyone explain how to understand APIPA in null zero strategy.
