TSHOOT FAQs & Tips

March 15th, 2011 in TSHOOT Go to comments

TSHOOT is one of the three exams in the CCNP certification. The TSHOOT exam is a chance for you to review your knowledge about ROUTE & SWITCH exams and test your troubleshooting skill. From the comments here and other places, this article tries to summarize all the TSHOOT frequently asked questions to save you some time. Please feel free to ask anything that you are unclear about TSHOOT so that all of us can help you. I will update this article frequently to bring you the newest information about this exam.

1. How much does the TSHOOT Exam 642-832 cost? And the passing score of TSHOOT?

It now costs $200.

The passing score of TSHOOT is 790/1000

2. Please tell me how many questions in the real TSHOOT exam, and how much time to answer them?

Unlike other Cisco exams, the TSHOOT exam tests your ability to troubleshoot the problem so in this exam you have to solve 3 multiple choice questions (or 2 multiple choice questions and 1 drag and drop question) and troubleshooting 13 “tickets”. Each ticket is a problem about a specific technology used in Cisco routers or switches.

You will have 135 minutes to answer them. If your native language is not English, Cisco allows you a 30-minute exam time extension (165 minutes in total).

3. Am I allowed to study the topology used in the real exam and where can I find it ?

Yes, you are! Because the purpose of this exam is testing a candidate’s ability to troubleshoot issues, not to understand a complex topology so Cisco publicizes the topology used in the real TSHOOT exam. You can find the topologies at http://www.networktut.com/tshoot-share-your-experience.

To save time on the exam, and to better understand the topology used in all of the trouble tickets, you should spend time familiarizing yourself with the topology used in the exam.

4. Where can I find the demo of this exam?

There is a very good demo of TSHOOT exam published by Cisco and you can find it at http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/le2/le37/le10/tshoot_demo.html. But notice that the topology in this link is not the topology used in the real exam.

5. During the exam, we must only identify the problem or we must also make the correct configuration?

We only need to identify each problem without having to make the correct configuration. But you have to answer three types of questions:

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

6. Can someone please tell me in the real exam it gives the ticket names just like in this site (for example “Ticket 1 – OSPF Authentication “) or is it going to say ticket 1 , ticket 2 only?

It only says ticket 1, ticket 2 only. In most cases you have to use the “show running-config” command to find out the wrong configuration.

7. Please give me some guideline when using the TSHOOT simulator.

Below is some guideline when using the TSHOOT simulator in the exam

demo_TSHOOT_2.jpg

7. Can I go back in the TSHOOT exam?

As shown in the above question, you can press “Previous Question” to go back to previous questions in the same ticket only. If you press “Done” button then you can’t come back to this ticket anymore. By pressing “Abort” button to can re-visit this ticket any time.

8. Can we take TSHOOT exam before the ROUTE or SWITCH exam?

Yes, you can. There is no order to take these exams. But the TSHOOT exam tests your skills to troubleshoot router & switch errors so I highly recommend you take the ROUTE and SWITCH exam first. The TSHOOT exam is very good to review your knowledge of what you learned in ROUTE & SWITCH.

9. Can I solve the tickets in any order I want?

Yes, you can solve them in any order until you click Done button. After clicking Done you cannot go back to this ticket again.

10. As I see there are 3 topologies in the exam. My question is to how to find which topology to use when doing a trouble ticket. Does it clearly state in exam whether to use this topology (layer 2 or layer 3, for example)?

In the exam, it doesn’t say clearly which topology you need to use. But a reader on networktut.com has shared this tip:

“There is no really best way to choose which topology to use.
This is my style:
Most of the time I was using the ipv4 topology as it contains most of the nodes with ip addresses and in the cause of your troubleshooting and you discovered that you need more details on the ASW1 & 2 switches that is when I used the Layer 2 topology except for the ipv6 topology.
Any node on IPV4 topology that is in Layer 2 topology have same configuration irrespective of where you click on the nodes.
Study all tickets here and use the following elimination style below:
List out all the trouble ticket on the white little board you will be giving and tick each ticket as you answer them because this will let you know which tickets are remaining to look out for.”

If you have any questions about the TSHOOT exam, please don’t hesitate to ask. All of us will help you!

    HI
    I Passed TSHOOT with 945 Marks today ..Thanks for this site .
    4MC Question and 13 Tickets came ,same as given in the Networkout site.I guess some answer may be wrong in the site thats why I got 945 not 1000 :-( ..I guess the Vlan filter question in which the fault is at DSW1 but in the exam need to choose ASW1 to get the option of removing vlan filter .May be this question need some research.
    My strategy during test was :
    1) As soon as I got the computer ,I make a note of all the possible answer on the notepad given by test center.

    like :
    Asw1-Port Security
    ASw1-Access Vlan
    ASW1-Trunkport allowed Vlan

    DSW1-HSRP Track
    DSW1-Vlan filter

    R4-EIGRP AS no
    R4-EIGRP Passive
    R4-DHCP Range
    R4-Wrong Route-Map name

    R2-IPv6 enable on interface

    R1- BGP Neighbour statment
    R1-NAT ACL
    R1-ACL
    R1-OSPF authentication

    2) I also draw the Topology with IP address details

    3) I gone through each question ,troubleshooted and put the Tick mark and question number against the Answer written by me on notepad earlier . I used this method for all the 13 question.I have used abort for all the 13 Q till I have marked all my answer on my notepad.
    My strong suggestion not to submit any ticket untill unless you know all 13 tickets answer .

    4) Once I have all the answer ,I started submitting the tickets.

    Best of luck for exam takers!!!!

    @Prashant

    What do you mean when you say don’t submit trouble tickets unless you know all 13 questions
    I thought you have to submit 1 ticket at time and you can’t go back to a ticket once complete

  11. Name
    June 15th, 2011

    @DaNetworkEngineer

    what he means is that you can check each trouble ticket and the corresponding toplogy to that ticket b4 submitting it.

    DO NOT USE PASS4SURE!!!
    I have failed both times….I take again tommorow (6/16). Pass4sure doesnt update their material that much and you can never ever get ahold of support. If you dont believe, try for yourself. They have one girl with online chat support (cindy) and that is it. Very disappointing.

    Also:
    + is it necessary to fix the error in configuration, or all we have to do is answering the questions?

  48. BOBO
    July 29th, 2011

    i failed the exam today.. 780/1000.. is it true that I can only retake after 180 days??? however it says on my paper sheet that I can retake it at Aug 4.. Please help, will it be fine if I take it on Aug 6?

  49. Shikima
    July 29th, 2011

    @BOBO you must wait just 6 days, when they talk about “180 days” is for ppl that already passed the exam…

  50. BOBO
    July 29th, 2011

    hi Shikima… can you enlighten me o that 180 days? Il give a scenario.. For example I am already a CCNP and it will be expired this year. Thus, I decided to take the TSHOOT exam.. Now that I failed, does that mean that since I am already CCNP certified and I have retaken TSHOOT to be recertified,I cannot take TSHOOT until 180 days.Hence, it’s either I take another CISCO exam (i.e. CCSP module) in order for me to be recertify for CCNA and CCNP.

    Others please comment as well. I know I am not alone.

    Thanks!

  51. Shikima
    July 29th, 2011

    It’s the same, if you try to recertified and you miss the exam, you can take it again like in the sheet says, after that date (Aug 6), here where I work, is a gold parner cisco, so that happends several times (ppl trying to retake the exam just to recert)

    good luck!!!

  52. BOBO
    July 30th, 2011

    so i can take the exam on Sept as well even though it says on my sheet that the retake exam is on Aug 4? (same exam TSHOOT 642-832)

    Some one plese help me in clearing this exam, i found very hard.

    Should i follow the same order of thirteen ticket what is there in networktut.com?
    All the question was same, client 1 is not able to ping 249.60.X.X? How do i differentiate tickets?

    Please help me, i would be taking again in next week.

    August 22nd, 2011

    nyan, try reading the comments stated in networktut… if you noticed carefully you can find the tips in answering the t_ts… i would say that this is the most easiest exams in cisco… trying using some simulation software… remember: practice makes perfect.

    cheers…

  60. Nyan
    August 22nd, 2011

    is this steps below are good to follow? i have one more doudth, will issue woudl be resloved after answering the tickets or its answers.

    The TT’s that I got are mentioned below:
    1. ASW1 – Allowed Vlan
    2. ASW1 – Port Security
    3. ASW1 – Access Vlan
    4. DSW1 – Access Map
    5. DSW1 – HSRP
    6. R4 – IP DHCP – first delete ip dhcp excluded-address 10.2.1.1 10.2.1.253 and then enter ip dhcp excluded-address 10.2.1.1 – 10.2.1.2
    9. R2 – IPv6
    10. R1 – NAT ACL
    11. R1 – L3 Security – ACL
    12. R1 – BGP – Wrong BGP Neighbor Address
    13. R1 – OSPF Authentication
    I didn’t get there any IP Helper there also i checked all TT and IP helper was not configured there..
    Well now I want to Describe how to find more easy the TT
    first with 3 TT which be ON R1..
    IN 3 TT U can Ping 10.1.1.1 which tickets are Nat , BGP , Access list , remember IN 3 TT U can ping 10.1.1.1 which is R1
    totally are 4 TT on R1 which IN one Ticket u cannot ping 10.1.1.1 but u can ping 10.1.1.2
    which Ticket is Ospf authentication….
    Dont lose ur time use abort abort abort and abort First I found those 3 TT where I can ping 10.1.1.1 and one ticket when u cannot ping 10.1.1.1 but u can ping 10.1.1.2 which is
    ospf authenteticaton…
    4 TT Gone of R4
    now Find 2 TT HSRP and IPV6 which are so clearly as question….. Now totally 6 TT GOneeeee
    Next steeep
    FIND 4 TT which Client 1 Get IP address 169.x.x
    which are Access vlan 10 , port security issused on f0/1/0 , Trunking Interface Those 3 TT u Must must must Check ON ASW1 Remember…
    One TT is ON R4 Layer 3 Topology which Client get IP 169.x.x.x
    which Is DHCP ON R4 router R4 – IP DHCP – first delete ip dhcp excluded-address 10.2.1.1 10.2.1.253 and then enter ip dhcp excluded-address 10.2.1.1 – 10.2.1.2
    Now 10 TT Goneeeeeeeeeee
    now Find TT which Client get IP address 10.x.x.x but cannot ping the Gateway
    Using abort
    that Is Access Map but in this TT is one BUG and U need to choice ASW1 to get Correct answer because doesn’t see any option Vlan acl / Port ACL *
    IF u select AWS1 U will see this One Vlan Acl POrt
    now 11 TT GONeeee
    now 2 TT Of R4 which Client get IP address 10..x.x.x
    Route Redistribute , and Passive Interfaceee ,,
    I played with those 2 TT for more 20 MIN just to play and to spend the time because i did exaaamm so fast 30 MIN
    and i stayed for 1 Hour
    well now are ONLY 2 TT
    When select One TT of them
    IN one U will see wrong redistribute I mean name of spelling of Route map…
    if U use abort and JUMP another TT U will see then Correctly Route map spelling name and u will see another one new with Passive Interface Under EIGRP
    Well the First I end this one with wrong spelling route map..
    and for this one the last with passive interface i did in the end
    and u must select
    R4
    EIGRP
    no passive interface under eigrp process in Interface f0/1 and f0/0
    now 13 TT GOneeeee 100%
    Well also i want tell YOU something is better to Useeee 46Q there are all all all all all the answers the same when U select just there in that DUMP
    are 2 questions WRONG
    Interface Trunking allow vlan 10 , correct answer is 10.200
    now as that dump 10.20.200 keep this In Mind..
    and another one Port security In this dump 46Q are Wrong
    for this one port security need to choice with shutdown and no shutdown there on dump write somthing different right
    I hope this have been Information for all OF you

    Here is the strategy which I Useddddddd

    Problem Device Problem Description
    A – > ASW1 –> Access VLAN 10 ( Layer 2 )host 1- 169.x.x.x
    P – > ASW1 –> Port-Channel not allowing VLAN 10 ( layer 2 )host 1- 169.x.x.x
    S – > ASW1 –> Port Security needs to be disabled ( layer 2 )host 1- 169.x.x.x
    H – > DSW1 –> HSRP Track 10 ( layer 3 ) host 10.x.x.x
    V – > DSW1 –> VLAN Filter ( layer 2 ) host 1 -10.x.x.x
    E – > R4 –> DHCP wrong exclude address host 1- 169.x.x.x
    P – > R4 -> Passive Interface Under eigrp 10 host 1 – 10.x.x.x
    R – > R4 –> Route Redistribution ( layer 3 )host 1- 10.x.x.x
    6 – > R2 –> IPv6 OSPF ( Ipv6 topology ) ipv6 ip add
    B – > R1 –> BGP wrong Neighbor IP ( layer 3 )host 1 – 10.x.x.x
    N – > R1 –> NAT ACL miss configured ( layer 3 ) host 1- 10.x.x.x
    A – > R1 –> ACL blocking traffic on int ( layer 3 )host 1- 10.x.x.x
    O – > R1 –> OSPF Authentication issue ( layer 3 ) host 1 – 10.x.x.x

    Try the following strategy.. if you have got time… This i have found from one of the post…. your strategy is good, but how will you find out which ticket is having that particular issues… this may help you…

    If you can ping 10.1.1.1 Then faulty device is definitely R1. Check this website. This is 100% correct. From client ping 10.1.1.1. If successful then R1 is the faulty device. It is simple concept. Any device before that does not have faulty configuration. Because you can reach R1 it means DSW1, R4, R3, R2 is allowing you to reach R1. If any of them had wrong configuration then you would not be able to ping 10.1.1.1. From client I pinged 10.1.1.1 more frequently then others. Once you can ping 10.1.1.1 then you definitely know the fault is with R1. No doubt about about that.
    1. Can be faulty BGP neighbour. Wrong ip address of neighbour. Use show run. You know where to look. Under router bgp 65001.–> sh ip bgp sum
    2. Check NAT access list. Look for permit statement. If permit 10.2.0.0 0.0.255.255 is not present then it is NAT Access list.
    3. Check edge_security access list. If the permit statement is missing for — permit 209.65.200.224 0.0.0.3 then it is IPV4 layer 3 security.
    So, you can see that if you can ping 10.1.1.1 but can not ping 209.65.200.241 then 3 TT for R1.
    Now if you can ping to 10.1.1.2 but can not ping 10.1.1.1 then it is definitely R1. ip ospf authentication message-digest on serial0/0/0/0.12 interface. Check configuration on R1. You will see that — ip ospf authentication message-digest is missing. So it R1, OSPF, ip ospf authentication message digest.
    In total R1 has 4 TT.
    3 TT — You can ping R1 but can not ping 209.65.200.241
    1 TT – You can ping 10.1.1.2 but can not ping 10.1.1.1.
    As soon as I opened a TT –> I used ipconfig to see the ip address. If it is 169.XXX then 3 TT for ASW1. If it has valid ip address such as 10.2.1.3 then i immediately pined 10.1.1.1 to see if the fault is with R1. 3 TT gone.

    Total 6 TT gone in the blink of an eye.

    ASW1 – 3 TT – if ip address is 169.xxxx
    (1.switch port security: Symptoms for this ticket:-
    1- Client 1 is getting 169.x.x.x ip address
    2- Client 1 is unable to ping Client 2 as well as DSW1.
    3- ‘sh interfaces fa1/0/1′ will show following message in the first line
    ‘enFastEthernet1/0/1 is down, line protocol is down (err-disabled)’
    4- ‘sh running-config’, you will see ‘switchport port-security mac-address ’0000.0000.0001′ configured under fa1/0/1.
    if u did not have the port in err-disable mode but in the config there was a port security mac 0.0.0.0….. command assigned
    so if u do show int fa 1/0/1 it will show it as UP so do not get confused)
    (2.vlan1–> vlan10)
    (3.trunk allowed: int range portchannel13,portchannel23
    switchport trunk allowed vlan none
    switchport trunl allowed vlan 10,200)

    R1 – 3TT – if you can ping R1 10.1.1.1
    R1 – 1TT if you can ping 10.1.1.2 but can not ping 10.1.1.1
    If HSRP mentioned then you know it is DSW1
    If ipv6 or ospfV3 mentioned then you know it is R2.
    9 TT very simple.
    Now if you can not ping 10.1.1.1 or 10.1.1.2 then you come back near client. Like DSW1, R4.
    DSW1 – 1 more TT — Vlan ACL – Look for VLAN Access Map
    R4 – 3 TT: EIGRP Passive interface , DHCP on R4 which get IP add 169.x.x , OSPF-to-EIGRP (OSPF->EIGRP).
    also now we have 2 TT new to idendify them if client now get ip add 169.x.x also check ON R4 for DHCP
    this new One again ON R4 for passive Interface
    now totally we have 3 TT ON R4
    4 TT on R1
    Dws1 2 TT
    R2 1 TT
    Asw1 3 TT

    Passed the TSHOOT with 5 hours of studying!!! Whooooo Hooooooo~

    Thanks TUT and the good folks of this forum. Much THANKS~~

    2 DnD’s:
    Question 2

    FCAPS–model defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
    ITIL– framework for it prof
    TNM–network management model is the Telecommunications Standardization Sector’s (ITU-T)
    Cisco lifecycle–model is often referred to as the PPDIOO model

    Question 3

    EEM ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ CLI based for Management and Monitoring
    SDM ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ provide a GUI for Administration
    FTP ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Used for Backup and restore

    1 MCQ:
    5) The following commands are issued on a Cisco router:

    Router(config)#access-list 199 permit tcp host 10.1.1.1 host 172.16.1.1
    Router(config)#access-list 199 permit tcp host 172.16.1.1 host 10.1.1.1
    Router#debug ip packet 199

    What would be the output shown on the console?

    A – All IP packets passing through the router
    B – Only IP packets with the source address of 10.1.1.1
    C – All IP packets from 10.1.1.1 to 172.16.1.1
    D – All IP packets between 10.1.1.1 to 172.16.1.1

    Answer: D

    Only communication between host 10.1.1.1 and host 172.16.1.1

    13 TT:

    ASW1 – Allowed Vlan
    ASW1 – Port Security
    ASW1 – Access Vlan
    DSW1 – Access Map
    DSW1 – HSRP
    R2 – IPv6
    R1 – NAT ACL
    R1 – L3 Security – ACL
    R1 – BGP – Wrong BGP Neighbor Address
    R4-EIGRP Passive
    R4-DHCP Range
    R4-Wrong Route-Map name

    One ticket I got incorrect was the ip-helper TT. I didn’t understand it and also, didn’t know where to start on this particular ticket. I didn’t see how it was supposed to be resolved from this forum. Get familiar with this one!!!!

    Good luck to all!

    Hi Guys,
    I have given my exam on Saturday 27 Aug and passed the exam with 1000 marks. All questions came from Network tut. I have throughly read the questions here and it helpned me a lot.
    Just a quick review on HSRP question the only lone question in which you can ping the webserver directly from cleint 1, even if you dont see any “HSRP” keyword.
    Best of luck all who will be appearing for exam

    I passed the exam today with a score of 931,All Tickets are valid.But make sure tickets are not coming to the order as mentioned in earlier comments.For an example if the first ticket comes from the ASW1 & Don’t expect the second ticket also come from ASW1.Trouble shoot each & every ticket thoroughly.This is a very tricky exam.

    All the best for all new exam takers.

  78. Lovie
    September 23rd, 2011

    Hi Friendz,
    Cleared T Shoot today with 807 marks, i was shocked when i started TT all the configuration i got was in IPV6, when is saw first TT i felt that this is on IPV6 from 9TUT and started looking at R2 but later realized that everything looked fine on R2, and then checked client 1- ipconfig and found it was taking 169.x.x.x, i immediately checked the next question by aborting the 1st, again to surprise found all the devices to be ipv6 in 2nd question, checked 3rd, 4th and then starting losing hope…

    then i again took the first question and Checked for the possibilities for why client is not receiving and found it was due to IP Scope in R4, checked next and kept going..
    1 thing brought me back to confidence was that all the question were from 9tut.com but only the difference was in that the configuration followed IPV6 in all devices… I easily trouble shotted 6 question, was left with 7 more, i had 1hr 45 mins left and 7 more to answer, was finding it little tough as everything was in IPv6, then best i though was to write down the configuration of R1 and R4 on the pad..

    and then started using abort method that help me to answer 4 more, left with 3 after little more trouble shooting i was able to answer 1 more, but could not answer 2 question and got 807… Should say was lucky to clear..

    TIPS:
    1) first use IPCONFIG to check if the client is getting the IP
    2) Use Ping and abort process that will help you to max
    3) if not able to answer more then 2 questions, write down R1 and R4 config on the pad and then start comparing

    One new question apart from these questions(9tut.com)was loopback of R1 is not able to ping loopback address of DSW1… I dont have answer to this
    Thanks 9tut.com it was great help and all the best to others..

    or all 14 TT are same i.e
    Client can not ping web server. Find fault
    , without giving any details

    and we have to find if its ospf or eigrp or bgp or layer 2

    I failed this exam yesterday for the second time!! and surprisingly I got four questions that they all have no gateway in client side, it made me totally confused, I killed a lot of time to find out about them , I got 765 at the end  is there anyone who have seen the same type questions and how we need to approach to figure them out?

  84. Cisco007
    October 4th, 2011

    Gentlemen,

    Anybody knows about the tickets that client 1 & client 2 has no gateway? I mean if you do run IPCONFIG in the Clients you do not see any gateway and its all 0.0.0.0 …. any suggestion please?

  85. bunti
    October 4th, 2011

    @Cisco007

    You mean no gateway. Wha was the ip adress i mean. I mean all the fields like ip subnet abd gateway was 0.0.0.0 or it was having ip like 10.1.2.3 and gateway 0.0.0.0 or ip was 169.XX.XX.XX and gateway 0.0.0.0. can you please explain more

  86. Cisco007
    October 4th, 2011

    Thanks bunti,
    yes, they have 169.xx.xx.xx with subnet mask but no gateway, the gateway was all 0.0.0.0.

  87. bunti
    October 5th, 2011

    @Cisco007
    Did u prepared enough for this exam. I doubt that. because this as the first problem discussed in all this site and in every comment.

    1. if clietns get 169.x.x.x (4tt)
    ping client2 from client 1 if fail go for port security (asw1)
    ping client2 from client 1 if success go for (access vlan 10 or trunk allowed) (asw1)
    if all 3′s are correctly configure go for dhcp on R4

  88. Cisco007
    October 5th, 2011

    Thank you bunti,
    I certainly prepared for the exam but not enough i guess… it got me confused when I first saw them back to back and I got out of synch, by the way i got the port security one but not the rest… now i know what they are and i am going to review them again.
    You are the MAN :)

  92. The Dude
    October 5th, 2011

    @ CCNP 86: You have 3 years to pass a similar or more advanced test.
    So if you have a CCNA and pass one of the CCNP exams within 3 years you are good.
    As long as you pass an equivilent or upper exam within 3 years your cert will stay valid.
    I know this because my 3 years is up Oct 20th so I take the test Oct 11th. Cutting it way to close.

    plz explain ipconfig. thanks alot

  100. Big Bang
    October 17th, 2011

    Hi there,

    Does Cisco subtract any points if you don’t execute few show commands? So, can you get the full points just by answering the questions (I know you can’t because you have to know which problem a ticket is refering to)?

  101. Big Bang
    October 17th, 2011

    @James: ipconfig is a command which you should execute on the client. This is a basic network command which you can execute in a command prompt in your Windows system. Give it a try. The command “ipconfig /all” also gives you the MAC address of the NIC.

  102. Kitty

    Hi all. I will start preparing the TSHOOT exam and I have some doubts. The review is based on answering tickets using the commands, so far used the Exam Cert Virtual to prepare the test, do I need yet another software to prepare for this exam? Do not quite understand how to do this test. Pardon my English but I am Spanish.

  106. ITgeek
    October 20th, 2011

    @ Pipe

    I bought the Boson software which compares like the real exam. You don’t have to spend your money if you can download packet tracer (http://www.networktut.com/tshoot-share-your-experience/comment-page-46#comments). I bought the Boson software and its better than the demo that Cisco provides. For the exam, you are giving one scenario for 12 or 13 tickets with 3 answers for each ticket. The answer is based on, 1. Where is the problem 2. What’s the problem about 3. How to solve the problem. You are not allowed to configure but only to do “show” commands to detect the problem. My advice to people is to buy the Boson software… it’s amazing.

    P.S I’m spanish also

    @ Prashu – think you will have to get you ccna back first before you receive your CCNP cert after taking tshoot

    CCNP Prerequisites
    Valid CCNA certification or any CCIE Certification can act as a pre-requisite

  115. Archer
    November 4th, 2011

    @ Prashu – It isn’t necessary certified again in CCNA. When you pass any exam of Professional certification (Route – Switch…) your CCNA is revalidate for more 3 years… That just happened with me. I take CCNA on July 2008 and now i’m CCNP certified on October 2011… Of course i take my BSCI exam and BCSMSN in 2009… So my expire data was “2012″ now it’s 2014!!!

    This is my strategy so far, my exam is Monday. Do you see any flaws in this strategy?

    TROUBLE TICKETS

    Ticket 1: OSPF Authentication
    Ticket 2: HSRP Track
    Ticket 3: BGP Neighbor
    Ticket 4: NAT ACL
    Ticket 5: R1 ACL
    Ticket 6: VLAN filter
    Ticket 7: Port Security
    Ticket 8: Switchport VLAN 10
    Ticket 9: Switchport trunk
    Ticket 10: EIGRP AS
    Ticket 11: EIGRP to OSPF
    Ticket 12: IPv6 OSPF
    Ticket 13: DHCP Range
    Ticket 14: EIGRP Passive Interface

    Strategy

    I. If HSRP in question then TICKET 2
    a. verify with show run

    II. If IPv6 in question then TICKET 12
    a. verify with show run

    III. Client 1 open CMD window
    a. ipconfig
    if 169.X.X.X address then TICKET 7, 8, 9, 13
    if 10.X.X.X address then b.
    b. ping 10.1.1.1
    if successful then TICKET 3, 4, 5
    if unsuccessful but 10.1.1.2 is successful the TICKET 1
    if unsuccessful ping gateway, if failure TICKET 6

    IV. All other questions are on Router 4 (R4): you can ping 10.1.4.5 but not 10.1.1.10
    a. Show IP protocols
    if EIGRP AS is not 10 then TICKET 10
    if EIGRP 10 has passive interface default then TICKET 14
    if EIGRP has redistribution OSPF command with wrong route-map TICKET 11

    Hi Everyone,

    Can anyone please kindly help me:

    I want to know that in the Exam are the Questions asked the same as per the DUMPS (I mean the state of the Question) for the 13 tickets, for example:

    Troubleshooting Ticket 1

    QUESTION NO: 1
    Following ticket consists of a problem description and existing configuration on the
    device.

    Trouble Ticket Statement:
    Client 1 is able to ping 10.1.1.2 but not 10.1.1.1. Initial troubleshooting shows that
    R1 does not have any OSPF neighbors or any OSPF routes

    Troubleshooting Ticket 2

    QUESTION NO: 1
    Following ticket consists of a problem description and existing configuration on the
    device.

    Trouble Ticket Statement
    HSRP has been configured between DSW1 and DSW2. DSW1 is configured to be
    active router but it never becomes active even though the HSRP communication
    between DSW1 and DSW2 is working.
    —————————————————————————-

    My point here is that in the Question 1 they say that “R1 does not have any OSPF neighbors or any OSPF routes” so if they ask like this we already know the issue is OSPF….

    Sorry, I am confused, can anyone pls kindly help me.

    Goodness, i wrote the exam yesterday and got 1000/1000 ;) this is the best exam i have ever written, you enjoy trying knowing the issue.everything is valid in this website. but Cisco tries to confuse you sometimes and they change some words or p addresses, but if you know the concept of every TT in this website, you won’t find any difficulties , don’t just memorize the answer. try to understand everything.

    i spent three to four weeks preparing for this exam and created my own method and used it in my exam. i believe if you study my method you won’t need more the two to three days to get ready for the exam :)
    Here you go:Ipconfig on client

    -If it is 169.x.x.x there are 4-TTs
    1.ASW1 – access vlan 10 (show-run and check ASW1 if 1/0/1 and 1/0/2 are in Vlan1, if they are… stop!)
    2.ASW1 – port security (show-run ASW1 if 1/0/1 and 1/0/2 are in Vlan10, apply sh int for both)
    3.ASW1 – switch-to-switch (show-run ASW1)
    4.R4 – DHCP excluded (show-run R4)
    ——————————————————————-
    if client got IP address then 2 options:
    -First, if client1 can ping 10.1.1.1 not to server 209.65.200.241 (3TT) ALL IN R1
    1.R1 – NAT (10.2.0.0) (show-run R1)(sh ip BGP summary)
    2.R1 – BGP (56-65) (show-run R1)(sh ip BGP summary)
    3.R1 – ACL (show-run R1)(sh ip BGP summary)
    Client can’t ping 10.1.1.1 but it can ping to 10.1.1.2) then: (1TT)
    4-R1 – OSPF authentication (show-run R1 + R2)

    -Second, if client1 cannot ping 10.1.1.1 (4 TTs)
    1. DSW1(ASW1) – vlan access map(vlan acl port) *** this one cannot ping even gateway (Check vlan-filter command, which contain vlan access-map, this contain access-list no., now check access-list no. It can drop the packet for PC conntected to ASW1.)
    2. R4 – OSPF redistribution (show-run R4)(EIGRP->OSPF is created and EIGRP-TO-OSPF is used)
    3. R4 – passive interface (show-run R4)(sh IP protocols )
    4-It may different AS no. for EIGRP is used To verify – show IP protocols

    Finally, there are 2 distinct TTs,
    -HSRP on DSW1 i. Check DSW1 Use track 10 instead of track 1 (show run) and this is the only question you will see tracking.
    -IPv6 on R2
    On serial interface use area 0, not area 12 (show run)
    Hope this help

    i would really thank everyone in this website for the great help, specially Network tut and comments from Naveed. i have learnt a lot reading their comments. i wish everyone good luck in exam.
    trust me feel relaxed, study my method,D&D,MCQ and go to the exam. everything will be alright :)

    Failed T-shoot miserably. I was thorough with the topology and replicated topology in real lab at work. 8 out of 13 questions were related to IPV6 which I never expected. Well as this is the future techonology, I better start familiarise myself with it. My guess is that the 3rd answer i.e. “correct the problem” is based on how you answer the first and second question.

    hey phunk congratulations.

    thanks for sharing your experience.

    which D&D and MCQ we should study ?

    hello everyone,
    I’m having the exam tomorrow , would anyone confirm if the labs are changed as “Badisoda” said and 8 labs are in IPV6 ????

    I would like to ask how the tickets differ from each other??like how would we know which device is having problem in that particular ticket??is there any question given in the ticket??

    Passed my Exam on 5th January, 2012 with 1000/1000, Allhamdulilah. “Networktut” and my Brother Sohaib Fouzi helped me to prepare this exam, thanks for both of you.
    All TTs are still valid and same as mentioned under “networktut”. I got multiple choices and 13 TTs. Except EIGRP AS all TTs came. In All TTS Client1 will have valid IPs (except 4 TTs of 169.x.x.x).
    I did my complete exam using only “ipconfig”, “ping” and “show run” commands and never felt to use any other command. One thing is very important that you should have complete understandings of TTs other wise you will not able to understand 2 or 3 TTs because Cisco made very minor changes in mulitple choices or in configuration. The IP scheme between R4, DSW1 and DSW2 is 10.1.4.x.

    When i entered in LAB, before starting my exam i wrote the below lines on the provided sheet and then it became very easy to solve the TTs. To solve the TTs i followed the following scheme and order: (remember “ipconfig” and “ping” always in Client1 for all TTs)

    ->> If it is 169.x.x.x there are 4-TTs

    1.ASW1 – port security (show-run ASW1 if 1/0/1 and 1/0/2 are in Vlan10, apply sh int for both)
    2.ASW1 – access vlan 10 (show-run and check ASW1 if 1/0/1 and 1/0/2 are in Vlan1, if they are… stop!)
    3.ASW1 – switch-to-switch (show-run ASW1)
    4.R4 – DHCP excluded (show-run R4)
    ——————————————————————-

    ->> If client got IP address then 2 options:

    -First, if client1 can ping 10.1.1.1 not to server 209.65.200.241 (3TT) ALL IN R1
    1.R1 – NAT (10.2.0.0) (show-run R1)(sh ip BGP summary)
    2.R1 – BGP (56-65) (show-run R1)(sh ip BGP summary)
    3.R1 – ACL (show-run R1)(sh ip BGP summary)

    -Second , Client can’t ping 10.1.1.1 but it can ping to 10.1.1.2) then: (1TT)
    4-R1 – OSPF authentication (show-run R1 + R2)

    -Thirdly, if client1 cannot ping 10.1.1.1, then (4 TTs)
    1. DSW1(ASW1) – vlan access map(vlan acl port) *** this one cannot ping even gateway (Check vlan-filter command, which contain vlan access-map, this contain access-list no., now check access-list no. It can drop the packet for PC conntected to ASW1.)
    2. R4 – Route redistribution: (show-run R4)(EIGRP->OSPF is created and EIGRP-TO-OSPF is used)
    3. R4 – EIGRP Passive Interface: passive interface (show-run R4)(sh IP protocols )
    4-R4-EIGRP AS: AS number of EIGRP is different is used To verify – show IP protocols.
    ——————————————————————-

    ->> Finally, there are 2 distinct TTs,
    - HSRP on DSW1: Check DSW1 Use track 10 instead of track 1 (show run) and this is the only question you will see tracking.
    - OSPF IPv6 on R2: On serial interface use area 0, not area 12 (show run), you will recognize this TT by reading ticket because it is the only TT which says about IPv6.

    Note: The above scheme i copied from one comments under “networktut”, i dont remember the name. Sory to mention under my comments but it is was just to help others. Please feel free for any query, my email address belal_fouzi@yahoo.com

    Hi Everyone,

    Today I did the exam and got 986, lol I passed, they exam is very very easy, just stay clam and chill, you have soo much time to do it, so dont ever rush, just take it easy….everything is the same as mentioned on this site

    Some of the configuretion is a bit tricky but you can easily find out the mistake.

    I got 3 MC (1 new MC) and got 100% in Troubleshoot may be 1 got the new MC wrong, if not I could have got 1000.

    Anyways all the best and thx everyone for their posts and support.

    Take Care,
    Ken

    Just got 1000. Pls stay focus on the strategy. Ping and sho run is enough if you are strong in concept. Initially panic if we see the configurations, lots of config, but stay focus in finding the expected error. From client, if you able to ping until the end ie able to ping web server, there are two possibilities ie HSRP and IPv6. Thanks to Networktut

    HI friends, i have one question. actually i am bit confused..

    Whether there will be any Statement in the Tickets or not. When i go to any Ticket here.. There is one Statement at the top Describing the problem
    (whether this statement will be in the exam or not??)

    How can i recognize that this is OSPF ticket or EIGRP or PORT SECURITY or any one… As for each one there are different answers….

    Thanks

  143. HEY

    passed my CCNP TSHOOT today. 931/1000
    everything is valid, and dont memorize as word by word. you have to understand the topology before u memorize it,

    thanks networktut.com!
