Brian Scheibe: If you are studying for the Cisco 642-832 TSOOT exam, here is a look at how to use the Boson ExSim Max TSHOOT practice test.
Hint: While there may be an obvious problem with a ticket, it might not address the question being asked. Before answering the first question in a trouble ticket, you should look at all possible issues.
Each ticket contains three questions. These questions are simulating Cisco’s actual exam TSHOOT. The first question you answer determines the second question, and the second question determines which question you get.
Boson TSHOOT exam has multiple problems. It is a troubleshooting exam. The problems are the problem. These questions are meant to stimulate critical thinking and are representative of the actual TSHOOT exam at Cisco.
Here’s an example. You receive a ticket that says pings are not working. So you immediately start troubleshooting. You quickly find the problem, such as a device not receiving EIGRP routes. That is what you consider the main problem. You answer the first question by stating that EIGRP is the issue. It’s possible, however, that EIGRP may not be the main problem in this ticket. You might have answered the question incorrectly if you answered the question with EIGRP, but did not continue troubleshooting to make sure that EIGRP was the main problem. Your answer to the first question determines the answers to the next two questions. If you answer the first question incorrectly, you will likely answer the second question incorrectly.
If you notice that your device is not receiving EIGRP route, it could be due to an EIGRP configuration issue. You should continue to think through the possible problems before you answer the first question in the ticket. This will ensure that you are able to correctly answer the question. You know, for example, that the device is not receiving EIGRP routes. These questions will help you get started.
* Is it an EIGRP configuration issue?* Why are the pings failing?* Could this be an authentication problem?* Should the Traceroute command be issued?
It is important to take your time when answering questions. As a study tool, use the Boson TSHOOT 642-832 simulation. Answer the questions as if you were taking the actual exam. Then take the time to go through each explanation and look back at why the issue is different from what you thought.
I hope you find this helpful in your studies. Remember that what appears to be the issue may be a part of a larger problem. Keep trying until you find the root cause.
