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).

    Passed today with the full mark. All are valid. Follow sam strategy will help a lot.
    You should revise your answer before choosing done button in each ticket . I used to do that and i was surprised to find some answers were changed and some were blank . If i clicked done i was surely lost marks . So make sure to check your answers before ending the ticket.

    At Bgp sim R1 will be configured from the console not filling spaces as it is here in practise link.

    @Hmmmmm – so, did you put remove the VLAN filter? or did you remove the VLAN access-map?

    Hi Guys,

    Thank you for the help from Networktut, I`ve passed the exam today with 1000/1000 score.

    D&Ds, Simlets, Tickets and Questions are all from Networktut.

    hi all,

    I like to see how you guy to determine the T4 – IP NAT ticket , I use SAM to start determine this tkt,
    1. Client 1 ping 10.1.1.1
    2. Yes (able to ping)
    3. R1 , does it contain “ip address-list extend edge-security”
    4. if not, sh ip bgp sum
    5. if the address correct: 209.65.200.226
    then it will be tkt 4 – IP-NAT

    however, i found out
    T5 – IPv4 Layer 3 security:
    int s0/0/0 – ip nat inside
    int s0/0/1 – ip nat ouside

    T3 – BGP
    int s0/0/0 – ip nat inside
    int s0/0/1 – ip nat ouside

    can we say if the , int s0/0/0 – ip nat inside & int s0/0/1 – ip nat inside , it should be the nat issue?
    Thanks

    I passed today with score 1000
    everything is valid from this website

    @Sun

    Yes you can say that exactly! ip nat inside on both interfaces is the nat issue on the external interface.

  10. need help
    January 8th, 2020

    @ sun , after pinging 10.1.1.1 if its ok , public ip side/wan side (209.x.x.x) should be ip nat outside , private ip adress side/lan side (10.x.x.x) should be ip nat inside

  11. Hmmmmm
    January 8th, 2020

    @TO

    You remove the filter. Just like you would remove the ip access-group command form the interface to take OFF the access list on that interface. You don’t delete the access-list to accomplish that. You may indeed take it off later but you in general would remove the command from the interface right? If so, then removing the filter accomplishes that in the same way.

    If anyone have some information about Ticket 6. Let me know about it.
    I didn’t find in 2nd Quention, Vlan ACL & Port ACL

    @Layer…there are no blocks for the commands. Exam have the ‘real’ router so as many commands as you need. I did enter the commands as I did on this networktut site but was given an error to ‘create BGP peer-group’ first before I fixed the eBGP. I got full marks so I assume it was correct :)

  14. PeeWee
    January 8th, 2020

    @Layer…better explaination

    When I went to enter: ‘neighbor IBGP remote-as 64520’ it gave me error: ‘must create peer-group first’. But the peer-group is already there: ‘neighbor IBGP peer-group’

    So if you get this its only a matter of typing in this command so you can proceed. No biggie

    Got 1000..nothing unexpected except a couple tickets that were slightly different from here. I think in cisco making those slight changes they may have introduced a bug which may explain the L2 score discrepancies people have been reporting

    So 2 tickets encountered, clients don’t receive an IP

    First ticket – dhcp helpers wrong on ds1 as you would expect but on AS1, ‘sh port-security’ shows BOTH f1/0/1-2 shutdown. However ‘sh ip int brief’ and ‘sh int f1/0/1’, ‘sh int f1/0/2’ indicate both up/up AND connected (none were admin down or err-disabled). I triple checked ip helper between ds1/ds2. Definitely a problem but interface situation stumping me for a bit. Ultimately decided shut/no shut even if ‘sh port-sec was correct (I believe it to be bugged) still wasn’t going to allow the pc to get an ip. So answered ip helpers wrong as the problem (no answer about no shut only f1/0/1). That may explain L2 score discrepancy if people go on just the ‘sh port-security’ command and don’t check anything else, then select as1/port secuirty/shut/no shut f1/0/1-2 as the answer.

    next ticket – dhcp helpers absolutely right this time both ds1/ds2. However on as1, ‘sh ip int brief’ and ‘sh run’ indicated f1/0/1 admin down. Went back to double check dhcp helper 1 more time, and correct. Back on as1, ‘sh int trunk’, and ‘sh run’ shows allowed vlans incorrect. No doubt about it. So answer this time is fix trunk vlans AND no shut f1/0/1!

    So my advice is approach these tickets with an open mind, double, triple checking with multiple different commands, and from both ends of the problem. Plenty of time.

    @CCNPnow

    Can you please explain in your first ticket ” ITS A DHCP HELPER ” ticket 13

    And second one??????? Which one is second one you are taking about

    Many Thanks

    Anyone care to share SAMs technique?

    @HARRY

    You know what. Disregard my f1/0/1 admin down. Went back on this site and it does match being on T9. Sorry about that. Had it in my mind it was supposed to be on T13.

    However my ‘sh port security’ for T13 (correlates to my first ticket I mentioned) indicating both ports (f1/0/1 and 2) down is still valid.

    Can’t recall the MAC (it wasn’t a simple one like in T7), but the ‘sh mac address’ command was available and the MAC matched what was in the port security config of the interface. I didn’t get T7 on the exam to compare to.

    ipconfig/all on client should give you the mac address and u can compare it with the port-security.
    As far as i know the 0000.0000.0001 was the one where port-sec needs to be removed, the other mac address is the client one and it should be fine ( dhcp helper issue).

    I failed my first TShoot attempt. Late last year with 824. I would like to know if signing up for a Paid subscription on this site gives me access to the latest Material that is not available to unpaid members. Also Are there new MCQs in the exam for those who have passed the exam this year
