I've WRITTEN RFCs and don't have them memorized. That being said, UNDERSTANDING key RFCs is important. If you can't easily read a protocol RFC at the general, not developer level, you may not be ready for the written. Yes, I agree that finite state machines won't be explicitly tested on the written, but I think it's very hard to understand protocol behavior without a sense of FSMs, TLVs, etc. Memorizing the numbers of RFCs? Maybe, although it's foolish if Cisco expects that. There even can be subtleties -- people usually say the first RFC describing IPv4 was RFC791, but that was the first practical one -- RFC760 came a little earlier.
