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!

@JJ, @discontented
I am Apipa, so what ? the question of @Lyon does not mean he does not know the basics again ! I review forum and saw people asking about this exact same point. Again it’s all about the diagram supposed to be boolean false/true (Yes or No), which means to avoid misundertanding at this exact point it should be “client get ip adress” with two exit: yes or no. Period. Stop tellin’ people about googlin’ basics if you cannot help ! Ohh GOD !
please share membership if active . i am going to give exam 2maro , my membership is expire . plz any one ,,,,,,************, help me on ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,heerooshrma0143 at gmail dot com
what is A PIP A…
Haha guys, if you can’t scroll up and read what is APIPA, this exam will be a hard trip for you:)) good luck!
hey guys.
in the exam are we aloud to use ”abort” option?
basic in tshoot client config to get ip from dhcp , when client unable to get ip from dhcp server , its use Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), so here if client is having APIPA its mean
(1) due to POrt security Ticket 7 – Port Security
(2) due to switch to switch connectivity Ticket 9 – Switchport trunk
(3)due to ip helper Ticket 13 – DHCP Helper-address
Yes, you can Abort any question. You are assigned a score of zero for that question, as it is automatically incorrect once you Abort. I would recommend at least answering something, as a zero will lower your score significantly. You cannot Abort and then get back into a question. Once you open a ticket, you must provide an answer or Abort to say you do not know the answer. It is beyond me why you would want to throw away points like that.
APIPA was covered in CCNA, and it is a term that is easy to Google if you still do not understand this simple concept. Stop wasting the time of the people here by asking about the simple concepts. If you have not even studied that simple concept, and cannot type the term into a Google search, then you should not be taking this exam.
if I see anyone else asking what is APIPA I am gonna smash something. There is literally every 3rd comment asking for this.
SAM strategy works, don’t rely only on PDF but use your brain a bit. And people asking for membership sharing — don’t be cheap, it is well worthy spent money.
I may not be checking here as often now that I passed.
Best of luck to everyone left.
Thanks for the account info. I appreciate the Premium, and I will use the heck out of it.
I passed I don’t need Premium anymore hit me up if you interested let’s negotiate.
Asking what APIPA is but sitting CCNP level exams. Wow!
Passed Tshoot, one more my time, thank you to everyone!
Premium account it was very usefull.
@ApipaAnswerer (dude talkin about CCNA)
Oh so you were with me when I studied to tell if I didn’t learn basics concept ? you are the one tellin me what should I do ? Didn’t aware of that. One thing I learn (except Apipa of course) you will always find people tryna ruin your mindset with negativity. SMH
@nyck,
dude First I was talkin about the nullZero strategy pdf, as it was unclear with that APIPA/client1 now I am using SAM strategy. Thx for the concern !
@Lad
Congrats! Which technology did you choose in NAT question? NAT or IP NAT?
hey guys.
in the exam are we aloud to use ”abort” option?
They don’t allow abort in the tickets anymore.
I do not know if you studied IP addresses at all, but one would assume you did. APIPA is a basic concept that is taught in the CCNA curriculum and required knowledge for the CCNA exam. If you are testing for CCNP, you should at least be able to Google the concept rather than wasting the time of the people here. I am sorry that you lack the basic knowledge needed here.
@ApipaAnswerer,
Once again, I do not need at all to google it. Still obstinate to understand the opposite. Be sorry for yourself not understanding simple words here. (Ps: use nickname next time)
GOOD day NW tutters! are the ticket numbering the same as here in the exams, eg. Ticket 1 OSPF Authentication, ticket 3 BGP neighbors, ticket 15 IPV6 GRE tunnel etc.
weldone to all that pass, condolences to all that blanked (give it another shot!), good luck to those that are writing!!!
Thanks Networktut for a great site!!!
You can use tracert on Client 1 and 2
@TSHOOT No, in real exam ticket aren’t numbered.
@APIPA:
In NULLZERO plan, if you have APIPA (means YES) on PC1 (169.254.X.X) then you have to check for some issues on ASW1 or DSW1 (Tickets 7,9,13).
If not have APIPA (PC1 have 10.2.1.X) then you can start ping plan.
@Networktut: Please change answer in ticket 9 simulator to stop confusion about this, so in PDF you have the correct answer:
Ans1)ASW1
Ans2)Switch to switch connectivity
Ans3)Under interface Port-Channel 13, 23, add vlan 10,200 and then no shutdown interface fa1/0/1
@WILL,
Clear explanation, simple and not sittin’ behind screen TOO obstinate to mess with peeps ! Appreciate.
Found interesting “study material” in another forum (certcollection). I havent taken the exam yet but for what i’ve seen so far, i think it’s valid-
@APIPA: With pleasure.
But be careful, so there are some tickets (T6, T8 and T17) even though the PC has a valid IP, it could be assumed that static IP has been configured. Not sure about this, but yo can’t verify it due ipconfig /all is not allow on PC.
Well, the link i recommended in certcollection seems to be broken. I can share the material. Write me to petrapmp 2020 at g m a i l
@WILL,
Okay sure, I will double check it before moving forward. Thanks again mate !
