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

Failed in exam with 804 score one of ticket was Ticket 6 – VLAN filter but there was no Ans2) VLAN ACL/Port ACL in choices so i cant solve this ticket
Hi folks, could you give me a brief review of what APIPA is? Tomorrow i have test.
APIPA = Microsoft dynamic self signed IP address starting range 169.x.x.x
Sorry but someone does not know what this address is … the CCNP is a bit too much with such small skills
I failed today, 7xx. This site and the question are still the same on the exam, nothing has changed and there is no other possible explanation except some kind of problem/bug with particularly my exam.
nope u got a different version of the test no buggs at all blame it on version ask 1000 point club they wont help u only boast of their score
Failed the exam today.
Lost heavily in Layer 2 technologies. Unable to figure out where did i do any mistake.
Shit cant take the exam again until 25th Feb 2020.
wait did u have premium ? I understand u get 1000 point club if u get 22.00 a month ? was exam buggy did u put in a cisco tac? did u scroll all the menus ? did u read in the ticket IPV6 issue?
I scored an 835 today, I did bad on Layer 2 only, the rest is 100% and Infrastructure Security is 80%. I want another crack at it but Cisco Policy requires me to retake on 24 February, which is for the new exam.
Almost did u have premium ?
Coming from the Club of 1000
I can only suggest not just to learn the answers … but heavily test the premium labs 10 times a day
It must be understood what could effect which issue
As i already mentioned the headache comes when you can ping from everywhere, the Client has a correct IP and you just search on the wrong device like ASW1 or DSW1 for ACL blocking.
In fact in that Case you should look rather more at R1 for the ISP nat inside / nat Outside which i guess most during the exam do not look and think about.
You should learn and prepare for all possibilities which could happen
1. Start pings from R1 … if that works … from R4 … if that stops … ping from R2
Then you can be sure it must be something between R1 and R2
2. If ping stops between R3 and R4 … it is the tunnel ipv6
3. If Client has 169.x.x.x address it is eithet DSW1 (wrong ip-helper) or if on ASW1 portsecurity
with err-disabled interface
4. If it stops at DSW1 … it must be something befor like RIP/EIGRP redistribution or ACL
blocking
Passed with 930 today.
Everything is on premium. MCQ Nov are still valid, All tickets and simlets
Good luck!
The VLAN ACL where you said you could not find the answer is the one where you need to scroll down to see that answer. Sounds like you just didn’t scroll down.
Huge bug with all tickets once i minimize and maximize the ticket answers get changed
i did all correct but the bug wasted my exam
People who got 1000, did you use Sam’s algorithm? please confirm.
Yes. I used my own variation (putting it into sections so it made more sense to me), but it was based on the SAM Strategy. It works.
Coming from Club 1000
It is absolute nonsense to follow any hard coded way of algorithm
You need to know the possibilities, causes and issues which can happen
Then you need to know wrong statements on the configs by sh run
Starting point for pings is always the R1 and then follow the path until ping is blocked
You should create your own algorithm with which you have a good feeling
Hy guys a i take the exam today and my score was 825, is possible to ask a revision because i have sure that i answered all the questions right!
1000p today.
BGP had another IP: 209.165.127.2
one new question about ACL. Correct response was line 60.
ping ipv6 does’t work.
no premium account, thanks a lot, good luck!
I am checking all the sim/ labs and questions a answered with right!
Passed today 9***Thank you networktut.
@Dink. Thank you very much for your response!
Please someone that took the exam today let us know her/his experience, I am taking mine tomorrow afternoon.
@BND i used Burik´s method. Thanks Burik!
check it on page 74, Burìk, January 23rd, 2020
one point: you can not ping ipv6.
I passed today got 1000.
MCQ = Nov Update
BGP & HRSP Simlets
All you need is premium account
Good luck!
All tickets are the same networktut
@MCV All questions from Nov MCQ and all tickets then BGP& HSRP questions.Go premium
Are there any drag and drops on the exam for tshoot? please inform me.
Yes, there are two drag and drop questions, the same ones listed in Premium.
please don’t use alogorithm to find which ticket is in exam, basic troubleshooting helps – starting with ipconfig and pings from client 1. that’s all you need. and for IPv6 questions tells you that it is IPv6.
the Strategy below 424 002 111 strategy that was posted a earlier in the forum is still the best.
see below
*********************************************************************
424 002 111 (remember these numbers))
Write them out like below, the numbers on the left are IPv4 tickets, on the right IPv6 tickets:
4, ASW1 ->PEPA
2, DSW1 ->DV
4, R1 ->BANO
0, R2 1 ->O
0, R3 1 ->G
2, R4 1 ->RPR
R1 Tickets
Bgp
Acl
Nat
Ospf auth.
BANO
R4 Tickets
Route-Map
Passive-Interface
RP
ASW1 Tickets
Port Security
Encapsulation on Fa1/0/1-2
Port channel Vlan 10 missing
Access port in VL 1
PEPA
DSW1 Tickets
DHCP Helper
Vlan Filter
DV
IPv6
Ospf
GRE
RIPng Redistribution
OGR
ipv6 ticket or not??? -> just ping the ipv4 webserver address
IPV6 Trick
Run -> sh ipv6 ospf nei on R2&R3
IF R2 neigh + R3 neigh = 2 THAN go to R2
IF R2 neigh + R3 neigh = 3 THAN go to R3
IF R2 neigh + R3 neigh = 4 THAN go to R4
2.1 R1 TICKETS
**Case I –>>Ping 10.1.1.1 = OK go to R1 -> Configuration Problem on R1
2.1.1 BGP peer ip addr is wrong (chenage the peer ip)
=> show run | s bgp (chek ip address)
2.1.2 ACL on R1-> ISP link (edge_security -> permit the ISP BGP Net)
=> sh run interface s0/0/1
2.1.3 NAT misconfigurations tickets
Case A: NAT on R1-R2 link is worng (ip nat outside ip nat inside)
=> sh run (check R1R2 link)
Case B: NAT on R1 -ISP link is wrong (ip nat inside ip nat outside)
=> sh run (check R1 ISP link)
**Case II –>>Ping 10.1.1.2 = OK go to R1 ->Connection problem between R1 and R2
2.1.4 OSPF auth (check the link R1->R2 – add auth mess-dgst)
=> sh run (on R1 and R2, check R1R2 link)
2.2 R4 TICKETS
–>> Ping 10.2.1.1 = OK go to R4
***On R4 –>> run sh ip eigrp nei
=> IF DSW1&DSW2 shows as neighbors THAN Route-map ticket (A or B)
=> IF NO neighbors THAN Passive interface ticket
2.2.1 Route-Map Ticket
Case A: in EIGRP 10 chenge “OSPF->EIGRP” into “OSPF_to_EIGRP
=> sh run | s eigrp & sh run ***there is NO route-map “OSPF->EIGRP”
Case B: in route-map “OSPF->EIGRP” change deny 20 permit 20
=> sh run ***”permit 20″ means that OSPF routs are redistributed in EIGRP
2.2.2 Passive interface (set “no passive-interface” on fa0/0 and fa0/1)
=> sh run | s eigrp -> passive-interface default
2.3 DSW1 & ASW1 TICKETS
–>>Ping to 10.2.1.1 = FAIL go to DSW1
First Check DSW1 (sh run | i helper / sh run | i filter) => the helper address must be the same of R4 Lo1; no Vlan Filter should be configured –> IF all are OK
–> THAN Check ASW1 (sh…int trunk, vl br, int staus, run fa1/0/1-2)
I. DSW1 Tickets
2.3.1 DHCP helper address (ip helper address change 10.2.21.129 10.1.21.129)
=> sh run | i helper *** check R4 Lo1 IP
2.3.2 VLAN Filter must be removed
=> sh run | i filter
*** Must Scroll DOWN!!!! -> remove…. (if vlan filter exist) *select DSW1->VLAN ACL/Port ACL
II. ASW1 Tickets
ON ASW1 –>> run these commands ===>
1. sh vl br (check if fa1/0/1-2 is in vl 10)
2. sh int tr (check that ONLY PO13&23 are tanking vl 10)
3. sh int status (check if the fa1/0/1 is in err-disable)
***ON DSW1 –>> IF sh run | i filter => no output AND sh run | i helper => helper adress = R4-Lo1 THAN
2.3.3 Port Security (no switchport port-security & shut no shut)
=> sh int status & sh run int fa1/0/1
2.3.4 Encapsulation on Fa1/0/1-2
==> sh vl br, sh int tr (fa1/01-2 vl1-4096) => sh run int fa1/0/1
***be careful what you choose ->switchport mode access, no switchport trunk encap dot1q)
2.3.5 Port Channel 13/23 -> missing vl 10 (add vl 10,200 on PO13/23 & no sh on fa1/0/1)
==>> sh int tr & sh run int po 13 ***sh ip int br (fa1/0/1 is admin down)
2.3.6 Access port in vl1
=> sh vl br & sh run int fa1/0/1
*** be careful what you choose ->switchport aceess vl 10
2.4 IPv6 Tickets
2.4.1 R2-> OSPF ticket-> Check link to R3 -> missing OSPF process (set on S0/0/0.23 “ipv6 ospf 6 area 0) => sh run -> Check S0/0/0.23 configuration
2.4.2 R3-> GRE ticket-> Check Tunnel34 interface (remove “tunnel mode ipv6”) => sh run -> Check Tunnel 34 interface
2.4.3 R4-> RIPng Redistribute in OSPF V6 (run “redistribute rip RIP_Zone include connected” command under OSFP v6 process) => sh run ->Check OSFP V6 process
