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

Hello Guys,
for the ticket number 4 there is (4 a and 4 b) in strategy of SAM and Nullzero, but there is no explanation for ticket 4b, what should do about it
Thanks very much for your help
hi guys i got 923/1000…but i almost failed the exam…mcq and simlets are same but cisco heavily modified the tickets to confuse us….they have mixed commands of other tickets so be very careful …the exam was soooooo bugggy….sooo buggy…it would ping despite having a obvious flaw. in the command line….and yes practise very well and acquaint your self with the lab environment because i was really freakin out and the first question i wasted almost 30 minutes trying to understand the scenario….many commands like show access-lists/show ip access-lists and many others werent working….even the diagram/topology is so limited….i managed to give the last question(24) in the remaining couple minutes…i repeat cisco has heavily modified to confuse or may be mine was crazy buggy ….the ticket where nat inside/outside is there ,,,,it was pinging web server despite wrong ip nat inside/outside…and the ipv6 route redistributions ticket OSPF->EIGRP and EIGRP->OSPF was mixed with the ticket having EIGRP passive-interface default….cisco really tried to confuse me man….glad i passed
i want NULL ZERO or SAM flow chart any one can help me by sending at engkhaledshalaby339(@) gmail.com
Truth. Tickets are buggy and that makes you doubt yourself but if you understand rather than memorize the tickets, you’ll be fine. Don’t panic and use a well-known or your own strategy. I took the exam today and pings worked well to identify the faulty device.
One more thing. In IPv4 tickets, ping only from client1 (tracert don’t work) and get use to use only show run, show ip route, show ip ospf neig..
I passes yesterday with max score 1000 , All Tickets m Multiples Question , Sim is here
inside versus outside
Hello everyone. Where can I find NullZero strategy? Thank you in advance.
Done! Passed 1000/1000. No changes. Get Premium, as it is essential to passing. I still have Premium for a week or so, if anybody needs it and it is okay to share. If it is not okay to share, pay for Premium and practice the tickets, the sims, and the MCQs. It is the last minute, and if you fail now, it is all over. You can succeed with Premium.
Just passed the exam. Two observations:
– In the tunnel mode ipv6 ticket you’ll find the command somewhere half way the tunnel34 interface config. Not down below like in the premium subscription labs.
– The command “show interface status” does NOT work on ASW1. Please remove it from the premium subscription labs.
@iamnowccnp
can confirm, cisco has put misleading clues. The answer of the tickets are still the same, but there is extra configuration that is not part of the problem.triple check, then check again.
Also you can rule out certain answers by verifying if the proposed solution is already implemented.
@Eneramo
There are two options, either NAT is configured ‘inside – inside’ on both ports, or ‘outside – outside’ on both ports.
Correct config is: NAT outside on BGP network and NAT inside on OSPF network. Change as needed.
Congratulations to the people who passed, can you use the commands “show running-config” on the actual exam or is this blocked?
Did an exam on 12th Feb and passed. Everything as on this website. Last MCQ set is valid, there are questions only from this set.
show run is permitted on the exam but you can’t use the pipe to filter.
Hi GUYS ,
This is the 2nd time I fail , I am sure I got all tickets Correct.
I can’t seem to locate where is my mistake.
Can we know from the report where is our mistake ?
plus any help on the MCQ ? in the 2 attempts the same MCQ . I am using a dumb for the mcq but not 9tut
Any help or clarification ? i am going for the 3rd time this week.
thank u guys
Hi people, do you need to know all MCQ (27th-Sep / 4th-Aug- / 3rd-Jun / 21st-Apr / 10th-Mar / 9th-Feb / 11th-Jan-2019) or only MCQ (updated on 13th-Nov-2019) for the exam
Passed couple of days ago,
Tickets:
-VLAN filter
-IPv6 OSPF
-NAT ACL
-OSPF auth
-Redistribution option 1
-Relay DHCP
-IPV6/IPV4 interoperability (tunnel)
-EIGRP passive-interface
-ASW1: Encapsulation dot1q on F0/1-2
-Can’t remember the last one
Simlet: HSRP and BGP
Questions: From Nov
Hello All,
I have just passed the T-Shoot exam – I am from the UK but currently working overseas and the exam was like for like from what you get in the premium package. Nov updates questions are still 100% valid – BGP/HSRP are 100% valid and the tickets are 100% valid – My score was 1000/1000.
This is a genuine post, I am overseas working and simply wanted to re-certify my existing CCNA/CCNP(s) and the T-Shoot exam is as presented here with the obvious changes to wording of the questions is valid!
There was an issue with the NAT question in reference to the ISP interface being set as Inside – Pings and Traceroute worked but this was the issue – I got 100% on everything.
No need for fancy strategrys – I simply checked with ipconfig on the clients/ Sh ip int bri/Sh vlan/sh int trunk and sh int fa1/0/1 for the L2 switches
L3 just as simple
sh ip ro
sh ip ospf nei
sh ip eigrp nei
sh ipv6 ospf nei
sh bgp sum
from DSW1
Ping IPV4 Address of web server
Ping IPV6 address of R1
traceroute to Web server with source ip as DSW1
You honesetly cant go wrong!
Best of luck everyone!
I failed the exam today. Guys how will you know if its ipv6 questions? Do i need to check routers each if theres ipv6 vonfiguration?
@madestro now all clear, thank you! =)
@FailGuy: Ping the ISP on IPv4. If you can ping the ISP on IPv4, it’s an IPv6 ticket.
Guys, could you please tell me why some of you recommend us when we get APIPA on @Client1, we definitely need to continue troubleshooting with SAM or NULLZERO startegy (also ping 10.1.1.1, ping 10.1.1.2 etc.), regardless of whether Client1 has 169.X.X.X or not?
Is it because of the bugs?
I mean, if I would see APIPA on @ Client1, I would surely assume that I have to go with tickets 7,9,13 and nothing else needs to check.
It just confuses me a bit… Could someone please clarify who has already passed the exam?
Don’t overthink it – you’re going to have a look at the distribution and access layers anyway in that case. Do what you’d do in real life.
@Failguy
Read the problem description of the ticket…
@SDS this is why I prefer the NullZero strategy, first thing to check is APIPA, if yes, then check T7,9,13 before moving on.
SAM strategy does not take APIPA into consideration and for me it makes more sense to start there than pinging all over the place.
Why is people asking how to know whether a question is IPv6 or 4? The ticket description says it! Yoy will find 2 IPv6 tickets that explicitly say R1 can’T ping [IPv6] address… so the ticket is IPv6. As simple as that. The tickets I had were R2 ipv6 ospf missing and R3 tunnel mode…
@ last few comments: NO, WRONG! There is no such ticket description with an IPv6 address in the exam anymore. You’ll have to find out yourself. Ping the ISP on IPv4. If you can ping the ISP on IPv4, it’s an IPv6 ticket.
@IPv6 because non-qualified people are memorizing the answers blindly to pass the test without understanding basic network concepts. The world we live in where cheating to pass an exam to get a piece of paper to get a better job in order to get real life experience.
@Rick, I sat the exam 2 weeks ago and it clearly mentions in the problem description whether it’s an IPv4 or IPv6 ticket.
IPv4 tickets: “client cannot ping the 209.65.200.241 Internet Server)
IPv6 tickets: “Loopback address on R1 (2026::111:1) is not able to ping the loopback address on DSW2 (2026::102:1).”
