HOW TO PASS TSHOOT :: STRATEGY

I was wondering, how to pass the TSHOOT. I successfully completed the routing and switching. Now the big challenge is ahead : TSHOOT.

I was very confused on the approach I should take to pass this exam. Later, I though, let me put down what I actually know.

I started making complex networks. Making a complex networks you will always do some mistakes and you will start troubleshooting the issue. So I created some complex networks to understand the base line(just to revise myself).

Things I forgot were back in the brain. I started recollecting everything. CCNP CBT nuggets took me almost 4 months to understand and work it up during my routing exam. But to revise it now just took 6 hours.

Now that I am done, I started creating these big networks(making sure that I do mistakes in this process) and understand how that things should work in first place. Reading the error outputs, checking different commands, how to use these commands to workout for a solution.

I finally planned my strategy:
1> Start creating complex networks: you will definitely make mistakes.
2> Try including all routing protocols, all type of areas(like in ospf) in to one single network.
3> Throw frame relay just for fun
4> read as you go. if you are stuck at some point, go back to you routing books and videos and refresh them.
5> I planned the preparing the topics in the following manner
             1> routing protocols
             2> redistribution along with point 1
             3> switching
             4> etherchannel and high availability
             5> IPv6
             6> Finally prepare the network diagram given for the TSHOOT: just to make sure I understand everything and better understand how the network should work in first place.

I will try posting the scenarios which I prepared.
