Ticket 2 – HSRP Track

Hi,
In the exam, all the TTs are simply states “Client 1 cannot ping to Web Server”. In this HSRP TT case, can’t we reach the webserver through DSW2? Or is there any other hint in the HSRP TT question itself. I failed this exam once, but didn’t remember exactly what was the question.
If we can reach website through DSW2, to pinpoint that this TT is related to HSRP, we have to go through the configuration of all routers and switches sitting between Client and Website.

Can somebody throw light on this HSRP track?

@ALL
Will the Q have “HSRP” mentioned ?, if not how do we know it. PLZ PLZ help

@AHF

check the show standby on dsw1 if it is active then ok otherwise you know that

please help me…the ticket of bgb was in my exam but there is a very strange matter..all three questions and their answers repeated for all 13 tickets and so i want to ask about all other topics..why only bgp in the exam..the answers of each three Qs for all 13 tickets are the same..is this logical?..I know nature of Qs and the topologies. i mean that in each ticket under a Q like how to fix it …i found answers of each ticket are the same

@ Ahmed

Please visit the link http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/le2/le37/le10/tshoot_demo.html

This is Cisco Demo, like the real exam. Demo has only 4 tickets, real exam has about 13 tickets.

Demo will give to you some advicess how is tickets on real exam.
Many tickets have same question because problem is “Client doesn’t reach web server. What is solution” but tickets have different problem points. Please check the cisco demo.

Thanks

@AHF
I passed today i have got 945 marks
and hsrp and ipv6 mention in the TT

Cd someone tell me ,why the exam has 2 topologies .which topology will be given in exam and if both then, how will i find out which topology the question is from?

I failed the exam. I dont remember a question with the word ‘HSRP’ in it.

I must admit I was in such a state of confusion I may have missed it.

But if the problem is not necessarily one we can locate by pinging how can we know which ticket relates to this question without checking the config for DSW1 on every ticket.

Despite what everyone else seems to be saying Im sure some of these tickets never came up in my exam and there may have been new tickets.

But as I say I was panicking and confused and I failed despite thinking the exam would be a cake walk having passed my last 5 without a problem.

Btw I notice ‘Anonymous July 31st, 2011′ makes a similar point and had a similar experience to me above.

pass today
100% still valid

thanks networktut

Hi ,

Brothers Please tell me Which dumps are valid in this two :

1). 642-832 pass4sure 51q. gb16
2). 642-832 ( TSHOOT ) Actultest.

Guys, can someone please help me understand the Track command, i have checked cisco site and found what it is, but it does not help me understand why we track 10.2.21.128 255.255.255.0..

Please help

@Rob
The track command is tracking the loopback ip of R4 so that we can reach via DSW1 as active hsrp router ( 10.2.21.128 LO of R4)

Thanks Joe,

I was not aware that R4 had a loopback IP address, This is not mentioned in the TSHOOT Topology cisco shared.

Thanks Mate.

any changes in the ip addressing compared to networktut?

A good explanation on tracking

plz guys how to get the video of the rest of the ticket plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz thank u GOD bless u

there r no videos friend…the tickets here, once understood and memorized, should be more than sufficient to pass this paper.

Suggestions –
You will find some single choice, multiple choice and drag and drop question in the tshoot exam.
After that a big question will appear which contain 14 questions, these are known as Trouble Tickes, in these trouble tickets problem is the same – client cannot pint to server 209.65.200.241
You can select any trouble ticket from the right pane.
You can abort the ticket before confirm it, it will reset. But when it is done it’s locked and unchangeable.
Use these steps for exam, if you are not finding the situations like in the point abort and find into different ticket.
1. Ping till 10.1.1.1 not to server 209.65.200.241
Check R1 for –
i. Check BGP Neighborship – Neighbor IP address may wrong
Command – sh IP BGP summary
ii. Check NAT Statement – Access-list for nat may not contain network address for host.
1. Command – sh run (check nat statement and regarding this access-list)
iii. Check Exit Interface for any IP access-group command and access-list. This access-list can stop the BGP messages for incoming, so BGP neighborship stops.

2. Ping till 10.1.1.2 but not to server 10.1.1.1
Check R1 and R2 for OSPF authentication command
Command – show run

3. If client is getting IP address 169.x.x.x
Check ASW1 –
i. Port security may contain false MAC address
ii. Vlan 10 may not contain interface fa0/1
iii. Vlan 10 may not allowed on Port-channel interface
Check DSW1
iv. 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.
Check R4 –
v. Check the excluded address in R4.

4. If you are getting destination host unreachable error from 10.2.1.1 or you can ping till 10.1.4.5 not to 10.1.1.10
a. Check R4
i. It may be passive interface default command applied in EIGRP process.
To verify – sh IP protocols – see the passive interfaces
ii. It may different AS no. for EIGRP is used
To verify – show IP protocols
b. Check R4 for redistribution
i. It may redistribution problem that route map name is wrong, which is used in EIGRP redistribution process (EIGRP->OSPF is created and EIGRP-TO-OSPF is used)

5. Other –
a. HSRP Track Problem
i. Check DSW1
Use track 10 instead of track 1 (show run)
b. IPv6 problem
i. Check R2
On serial interface use area 0, not area 12 (show run)

in the track command, what device does the IP addresses 10.2.21.128 & 10.1.21.128 represent?

go through the comments and u will find the answer else having ccna is enough for u

@keen dont so mean bro if you can answer to him please do so or ignore but you dont need to be rude

that is not mean…
cisco guru dwelling into cheating muslims…that is mean…
the loopbacks have been mentioned in the comments 5 times or more…

Hi,guys i just want to know i have troubleshoot exam left then i wil be ccnp and i am ccip ccie written r&s plz tel me in each ticket the question is same .My question to u guys is that in each ticket we open does ping works differently ?
I mean to say in some tickets we can ping 10.1.1.0 but in some we cant.is it?
finally.what does it mean client gets 169.x.x.x in exa m there is no ticket or do we have to check and if than which command to use on client please response soon .thank you.
Hassan Akhtar

@ Keen Please man that’s disgusting, you don’t have to be mean bra.

can anyone explain to me what the commands:
track 10 ip route 10.2.21.128 255.255.255.0 metric threshold
threshold metric up 63 down 64

exactly do ??

Hi Guys,

I’ve made my TSHOOT exam last Friday and pass with 1000/1000. My advice to all of you, try to understand every TT and bulid your lab and practice. Can be done with Packet Tracert (some features not presente, but is easy to run in any PC) or GNS. In my exam i had 1 DD, 3 MCQ and 13 TT. By the way, all TT presented here are consistent! CCNP is done i’m moving to CCIE. Thanks a lot Networktut and remember always share your experience.

Knowledge is priceless.

Regards!

Hi there!
What makes me laugh about this ticket is that the loopback on R4 has an IP address of 10.2.21.129 and not 10.2.21.128. So both tracks are wrong ;)

It isn’t wrong halvare… This command tracks the entry in the routing table… check this out
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2t/12_2t15/feature/guide/fthsrptk.html#wp1045974

“Perform this task to track the reachability of an IP route. A tracked object is considered up when a routing table entry exists for the route and the route is accessible. ”

Track 1 is really wrong, since R4 loopback belongs to 10.2.X.X network… Anyway hope this help you guys…

track 1 ip route 10.1.21.128 255.255.0.0 metric threshold
threshold metric up 1 down 2
!
track 10 ip route 10.2.21.128 255.255.255.0 metric threshold

any one can explain me hows this command works , i have studied ccnp switch from cbt nuggets n i have never studied these command this very new for me but i wanna to know . pls mail me answer on my mail id viveksingh311281@gmail.com also same in facebook

Are there any social site like 9tut for CCNP Security

Halvare – .128 is the network address!

vivek singh,

the “up” threshold is your metric. anything above it is your “down” metric.

to see it, issue a:
you can do a show ip route 10.1.21.128 | in metric

Hi Naveed,

Can you please send me the link where I can download all the 13 TTs in GNS3. My email id is t2b2l21@yahoo.com.

Thank u.

Thanks for everythings.

But I have a question:

Is there any specific procedure to konw this ticket??

Thanks

In this ticket:

What is the gateway of the client?

Bilal Al-Masri,

standby 10 ip 10.2.1.254

I confuse in this exam… can some one help to me?
Configuration on R1 was:
interface Serial0/0/0/0.12 point-to-point
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.252
ip nat inside
ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 TSHOOT
!
router ospf 1
log-adjacency-changes
network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.3 area 12
default-information originate always
Configuration on R2 was:
interface Serial0/0/0/0.12 point-to-point
ip address 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.252
ip ospf authentication message-digest
ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 TSHOOT
!
router ospf 1
log-adjacency-changes
network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.3 area 12
Answer: on R1 need command in router mode
area 12 authentication message-digest
Is the above show run configuration will show in the question together? or the show run configuration we have to read through the question and show run in the devices my own to start troubleshoot the problem?
Please help!!! :)

Today, I have passed TSHOOT with full mark Alhamdulleah (thanks for GOD). All the dumps are valid.

13 TT (EIGRP AS ticket is not in the exam).

All 13 TT is the same.

If you want to differentiate this HSRP (if you are succeeded to ping the web server from client 1)
and also mentioned HSRP statement in the questions .

I am trying to build the TSHOOT lab in the packet tracer but unable to connect the routers. It says the cable cannot be connected to that port.
Can some one advice me?

Thank you in advance

You might have selected the wrong cable type. My advice is that you should try selecting a serial cable

Hi Naveed,

Can you please send me the link where I can download all the 13 TTs in GNS3. My email id is tshoot1234@yahoo.com.

regards,

Alhumdullilah I have passed my exam with score 945. Thanks to Allah and network tut.

what show command do we need to use in this TT

Passed my TShoot Exam on 5th January, 2012 with 1000/1000, Allhamdulilah.
“Networktut” website 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 comment under “networktut”, i dont remember the name. Sory to mention under my comments but it was just to help others. Please feel free for any query, my email address belal_fouzi@yahoo.com

HAY :-)
the wrong here not loopback or other but
thershold is wrong

because by default static route in track have metric 10 not 1

Table 1 Metric Conversion
Metric Resolution
Static
10

Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
2560

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
1

Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS)
10

1 Actually Ahmed, the AD for a static route is 1. this makes all static routes desirable.

2 The track command is used to constantly monitor the status of a routing table entry(best route to an IP address). Lets call this route A.

3 Threshold metric up 1 down 2

The above command means that the track cmd should look at the metric of A, if it is 1 or less than 1, then assume the route is up. If it is 2 or more, then, the route is down.

An engineer would not give this command without regard to d metric of d route. so if d metric of the route was 20, what would the threshold cmd be? answer?

Threshold metric up 20 down 25

This will tell d router to closely watch that route, in case the metric goes up from 20 to 26 for example, then, decrement the priority of the HSRP router by the decrement value in the decrement command!! And the lower the priority… u can complete that statement…the lower the chances of that router or switch becoming the active standby router.

OK?

Now imagine a static route with default metric 1, (Static route metric can be changed).

The bug in the question happened when the engineer mistakenly configured the standby router to track 1 and decrement 60… i.e track a route with metric of 1, and use threshold statement of 63, 64. The truth is,

Track 1 was for a route with metric of 1, while Track 10 was for a route with metric of 61.

Mixing them up means the router will never be up.

You have to correct the command by using:

Standby 10 track 10 decrement 60;

The 1st 10 is the HSRP group, 2nd 10 is the track number. Decrement the HSRP priority of this router by 60 if the route in the track statement detects a route that is down, based on the threshold given.

A big congratulations to everyone who just passed THOOT paper, if possible please share the Dump of TSHOOT to this mail please and thanks a lot ! kkk278@hotmail.co.uk also if you have any packet tracer software 5.3+ pls send me one and really appreciated ! (Urgent)

Guys where are the Topologies that are being referred to?

The Cisco demo is wrong. I have found errors, but it wont let me choose that answer. WTF

Can you please send me the link where I can download all the 13 TTs in GNS3. My email is ipopovicbg@gmail.com, and DUMP pleas, i have test 5March.
Thank u.

Many thanks to Networktut. I passed TSHOOT exam. All tickets were same as given in this website. 13 tickets were asked (no “EIGRP AS” ticket). 1 drag and drop question and 2 multiple choice questions (all questions appear in networktut.com)

Remember to use “ipconfig”, “ping”, “show run” in all tickets and “show ip interface brief”, “show ip eigrp neighbors”, “show ip bgp summary” in some tickets.

Study the topology and understand the tickets. I followed the strategy suggested by Belal on 08 January 2012.. Thank you Belal.
