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

Hello Guys,
Passed with 1000/1000 am soo happy am now CCNP fully.
focus on SAM strategy its all you need in the tickets, don’t cram.
Nov MCQ, HSRP and BGP simlet.
All the best!
In BGP simlet, do I need to do write or copy running-config?
@BGP
No need to do that for the BGP Sim. Just complete the required configuration to solve the problem presented to you and exit the config screen followed by Show ip bgp command to verify that the loopback interfaces of the other routers are display. make sure your show ip bgp results match the example Cisco presented to you.
Hi Guys,
Nov MCQ only, BGP & HSRP Simlet. Be careful “ip nat inside” ticket cos can be ping from any devices expect from ASW. 10 Tickets. “sh int status” is not allowed but you can check port status with “sh int fa1/0/1 or 2”.
My strategy just is ping from R4 for IPv4 tickets and R1 from IPv6 tickets.
Thank you networktut team!!!
Passed with 923. I got 76% in layer 2 techonologies. All the MCQ from Nov and simlets are valid. I think that i fail in the port-security ticket. The interface was UP/UP in the show interface command and not err-disable. Maybe it can be a bug but I am not sure.
Passed today with max score. Everything valid. Nov MCQ+two Simlets+tickets(3 of them about IPv6). Was not happy when in tickets they do not allow to use “sh run int xxx” commands on routers and switches. Had to use “sh run” instead all the time.
Quick questions to all.
1. From the Sam’s ping plan. what does APIPA mean?
2. Where can I get NULLZERO’s plan?
Thanks in advance.
APIPA means that same thing as it did when the concept was introduced in CCNA. If you don’t know it, please just Google it. Do not waste the time of the people here asking about those simple terms that everyone should know already.
…and I googled Nullzero, looked it up in FAQ page…people refer to it, but no pointer to explanation!
@memento
Congratulations.
Which ticket questions did you take on your exam?
@Clem
Re Q 3
Just FYI, it’s a trick question.
There are 2 methods to protect the GRE tunnel using IPSec:
1. Using crypto-map (old style), where the map is applied to the physical interface
2. Protect tunnel interface using IPSec profile (new style).
The exam question mixes configuration of 2 approaches and hence it won’t work.
Therefore, the answer with all blanks makes sense, as the IPSec for the tunnel won’t establish.
In other words, the tunnel might come up, but there won’t be any encryption.
This is how ipsec SA would look like using working method 1 (Crypto map):
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111
R4#sh crypto ipsec sa
interface: Serial2/0.34
Crypto map tag: KR-MAP, local addr 10.1.1.10
protected vrf: (none)
local ident (addr/mask/prot/port): (0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0/47/0)
remote ident (addr/mask/prot/port): (0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0/47/0)
1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
This is how ipsec SA would look like using method 2 (protect tunnel using ipsec profile):
222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222
R4#sh crypto ipsec sa
interface: Tunnel34
Crypto map tag: Tunnel34-head-0, local addr 10.1.1.10
protected vrf: (none)
local ident (addr/mask/prot/port): (10.1.1.10/255.255.255.255/47/0)
remote ident (addr/mask/prot/port): (10.1.1.9/255.255.255.255/47/0)
current_peer 10.1.1.9 port 500
222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222
As you can see, both methods report using protocol 47 (GRE), however, note endpoint IP-s are different.
Credits to Keith Barker, I’ve used his GNS3 setup to lab this up and explain it to myself when I needed it.
Hope this helps.

Sorry but where can I found the NULLZERO strategy?
My bad found it :

I am passed with 9xx, all of the material is valid, but show interface status command doesn’t work
Many Thank networktut
WonderingFebruary 13th, 2020
Just passed today 1000/1000.
As I am one of those without real life experience I memorised answers and practised Labs from here.
No new answers. All as expected on exam. in exam Questions and tickets are random,
trust your memory. some questions were reworded but answers still same.
Thank you, god luck you all !
Passed today with max score.
1. Follow SAM’s ping Plan for Tickets. That is more than enough and works like a charm. Pay attention to the small notes in networktut answers(not the comments).
2. BGP simlet- you have to type the commands in the router,
while HSRP case has 4 questions with answers and you have to choose the answers.
3. MCQ’s of Networktut from Nov valid. I did study a ton of additional qns from different sources. Turned out I didn’t have to.
4. Not a premium member.
Do not pay attention to other comments here confusing you with different answers.
Hey Guys,
just passed with 1000/1000.
Everything is here MCQ Nov, BGP & HSRP Simlet, Tickets
Its easy compared to Route or Switch.
Good Luck
@Wondering, Yoyoma, randonal: congrats! do you remember which tickets you had?
i had 1,4,6,8,9,11,12,13,14,15
good luck!
thanks =)
Passed with max score.
Thank you Networktut and to everyone who shared their experience.
As most of the comments here state…
1.Nov MCQ is valid (with little modification)
2.HSRP sim (same here), BSP sim (same here but with different neighbor IP)
3.All tickets are valid
Familiarize your selves with the tickets and follow SAM or NullZero’s ping plan.
TIP: On page 644, Good_Stuff laid out a nice plan….
A little over a week to go guys! Best of luck to everyone…
I passes today with max score.
Nov mcq is still valid
Hsrp and bgp sim
All ticket are same here
Many thanks to networktut, very good website
can anyone help by the HSRP Sim questions and answers
I passed today with 98x/1000 marks and I do not have premimum membership.
Total 24 questions from which 12 were mcqs/dnd, 2 sim, 10 tickets.
Got all nov mcqs/drag n drop that are available in pdf on this site.
BGP and hsrp sim.
Got below 10 tickets
IPV4 and IPV6 interoperability
IPV6 ospf routing
IP dhcp helper
Switch to switch connectivity
Access vlan
Vlan acl/port acl
IP Nat
IPv4 ospf routing
IPv4 eigrp routing
IPv4 route redistribution
Thank you networktut. Best of luck to all.
Failed today, I had multiple questions not listed on the MCQs and at least one sim. Scored around 800, retaking in a week.
Forgot to mention, the Sim that wasn’t on here had a routing loop going between DSW1 and DSW2.
Just passed 9xx.
For those who want to take the exam follow SAM strategy for the tickets, it worked like a charm and you can save time. Nov questions still valid, BGP and HSRP simlets too. Thanks to Networktut and also thankin’ people with their input here in this forum. Good luck to everyone !
