When I was asked the default BGP timers across three different vendor platforms as measure of my networking ability during an interview, I replied saying I'd look them up if needed them.
I was told I didn't understand BGP in enough detail, despite being able to describe all the steps of BGP session establishment and route exchange.
Certs have ruined the industry.
