TSHOOT Topology
I’ve been playing around in the TSHOOT topology and thought I would share my configuration. Here is a copy of the original topology as released on the Cisco Learning Network. You can download a .tar file of all of my configurations here. If you have it configured differently please share in the comments or a post on your own blog.
I used a few more routers for the clients and set up the BGP cloud as well. The frame relay switch configuration on R10 was left over from Narbiks labs and the extraneous configurations that you see on random ports on the client routers was testing for another project. This way I could use the lab for both scenarios. Below is my modified topology, everything else is the same as the original .pdf. Routers 1-4 are 1841s, 5-10 are 3640s, the distribution switches are a couple of 3560s and the aggregation switches are 3550s.
I really appreciate your post. This is the config files I’ve been looking for. I need one more exam-tshoot- passed for my ccnp. Thanks again.
Thank you for this post . this have saved me a lot of homework and answered many questions I thought were too deep to find from the web.
I found your blog through Google images by the way.
Thanks Again.
Dear, Thanx for the Configs files,
I am unable to find the net file, plz let me know weather I shud create it of my own according to the topology given or whatever… please help me…
@Mazhar
I am lucky in that my work provides me with a real hardware lab. I have considered making a GNS3 .net file but have not had the chance. If you do please share, I’m sure it would help others.

Thanx for the Reply Jud,
Will try to make topology and configs on gns3, and once done will surely share…
Hi Jud, thanks for your time. Quick question about the sample config on R4 in relation to the sample exam topology IPv4 Layer 3 Topology. I have noticed that area 34 should be nssa totally, usually with this particular area, command ”area 34 nssa no-summary” should be in place, what do you think.
I believe you are correct. Thank you for taking the time to make the comment and correct it. Good luck on your test, it appears you are heading in the right direction!

Jud,
Were you ever able to pull together this topology in GNS3 or Dynagen by chance?
Thanks!
I started on one. The server I was using was an old Dell 2950 they gave me at work and it did not have enough horse power to run the topology. Here is what I have.
Good Luck.
Jud
How did you manage to get 1841 routers as R!-R4 when GNS3 doesn’t support them
Thanks

I didn’t use GNS3 for the lab, this is all real hardware. When I got further into my CCNP I thought I might go for the CCIE so I began putting together my lab. Luckily my employer has helped out quite a bit in regards to the lab. I have purchased 7 routers and they have purchased another 6 routers along with 4 3650s. These configurations were built on an older version of that lab with the 3550s.
The previous comment above from 4th October 2010 has a link to my GNS3 topology. I never finished it because it was simpler for me to just run everything on real hardware. The only reason I tried a GNS3 topology is because I did not want to recable the lab.
this is an amazing site. been looking for a perfect tshoot config! thanks for sharing Jud.
Thanks for the kind words.
