A guide for the TSHOOT Exam

April 8th, 2011 in Guide Go to comments

In this exam we will encounter:

+ 3 Drag and Drop Questions
+ Some Multiple Choice Questions
+ 13/14 Troubleshooting Tickets (check them at the right-side menu)

Below is a summary of 14 Tickets you will see in the exam:

Device Error Description
ASW1 1. Access port not in VLAN 10
2. Port Channel not allowing VLAN 10
3. Port Security
DSW1 1. HSRP track 10
2. VLAN filter
R1
1. Wrong IP of BGP neighbor
2. NAT – Access list mis-configured
3. Redistribute access-list
4. OSPF Authentication
R2 1. IPv6: enable OSPF
R4 1. EIGRP – wrong AS
2. Redistribute (“to” & -> )
3. DHCP Range mis-configured
4. EIGRP Passive Interface


Notice that in the exam, the tickets are randomly given so the best way to troubleshooting is to try pinging to all the devices from nearest to farthest from the client until you don’t receive the replies.

In each ticket you will have to answers three types of questions:

+ Which device causes problem
+ Which technology is used
+ How to fix it

One more thing to remember: you can only use “show” commands to find out the problems and you are not allowed to make any changes in the configuration. In fact, in the exam you can not enter the global configuration mode!

    Hi, I`m new to the forum and somehow confused.
    As far I realized it`s not just enough to select the correct answers you also must type the correct command on the associated devices, but what will be the correct commands accepted from Cisco to pass the exam?

    Thanks

    Page updated: Add R1 -> Error 4. OSPF Authentication (remove OSPF Authentication from R2)

    Today Ill take a look at how network engineers might troubleshoot the types of problems on the TSHOOT exam and ask you to weigh in how do you think your favorite troubleshooters would approach the TSHOOT trouble ticket questions?.Its always been interesting to me that the troubleshooting aspect of networking jobs seem to be a little like a competition. It has little to do with the TSHOOT exam but Id still be curious. .The TSHOOT Trouble Ticket TT questions do a nice job of approximating that competition much more so than the more traditional types of questions.

    I literally just failed my test and went to find other people who would talk about this, and looking at these TT’s, they are 90% the same.

    Good luck everyone, I plan on passing next time thanks.

    Hey dumpers, i really implore you all to make sure that you understand the whole blueprint before coming to read on this site. This site should be a last minute and just like a revision of what you know already and should not be used as a study guide in any way.

    I am really surprised at some of the comments that people post. This is TSHOOT and sort of a MINI CCIE exam. If you have come this far it is expected that you know a lot of stuffz

    I read from this site and i am not saying that you shouldn’t look at it at all but it should be a last gap revision.

    PASSING THE EXAM DOESN’T MEAN YOU KNOW CAN DO IT IN THE REAL WORLD. IT IS JUST A PROOF THAT YOU HAVE PASSED THE EXAM, SO YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOURSELF IN THE REAL WORLD

    Just passed it today with 932! 100% for the TT, and 30% for the MCQ (1 correct out of 3Qs), i think the MCQ on the source here is not so accurate though. For the TT, all 13TT is in networktut, except the EIGRP AS. Good luck to all other! I completed my CCNP witin 3years of study!!!

    ERROR in 642-832 !

    hi,

    i took the exam yesterday but failed with the 285 point! (points between 300-1000) When i clicked next and previous question in the same ticket, all the choises changed all the time!:s And from the second ticket, all the questions and answers were totally the same! I had to click the same choises in other 12 tickets :s
    Did you experience anything like that ? I send a mail cisco support, waiting the answer… I learnt that some people lived this problem and cisco sent a new voucher to retake the exam.

    I have some questions :

    1) Do all the tickets have one problem or all problems in all the tickets? There is only one wrong config in each ticket, isn’t it?
    2) Is there any recommendation about exam? Is it a problem that passing between next-previous questions frequenlty?
    3) i read a recommendation says ‘close all config pages before passing the other ticket. If config pages stay open, it can be problem during the exam, questions and answers can merge’ Is there anything like that?

    Pfffffff :(
    Tshoot was my last exam in the ccnp and i had problem :(

    Thanks

    wolfman tickets have the same question but they wont have the same issue, Can you confirm you checked if pc1 was getting an ip address on all the tickets?

    This site is for helpful tips only! you should try to learn how to implement the 16 tickets first then troubleshooting them will be a piece of cake.

    I passed my Tshoot on the 3rd of Jan 2012 on my first attempt with a pass mark of 890.

    Watch the CBTs followed by labs even packet tracer is fine. There is only a few things that can not be configured on packet tracer. i.e HSRP, route maps and BGP properly.

    Let me know if you require additional help.
