Does passing the CCNA:Security renew one's CCNA?

I can't find the info - does passing this cert renew one's CCNA cert? i would think it would since you have to have it to even take the NA:S, but I could be wrong.

It does renew your CCNA. I'm in the same boat (CCNA expires soon) and I am taking CCNA:S to renew my CCNA.

I see you have a CISSP. That requires five years of hands-on paid security experience, doesn't it? Have you ever thought about getting a CCNP:Security cert? I guess you managed to land a networking job that deals with security in some fashion, then after five years you took the CISSP test and passed?

Just to add onto what Todd said, in addition to renewing your CCNA or any NA level cert, the NA Security, in the case you have a Security+ CE certification, can be renewed as well (It fulfills all required CEUs for the full 3 years). I know you don't have Sec+, but I'm sure there's a few that will find this informative.

Good to know about it renewing the Sec+. But, you still have that annual fee. Since it's not required for me, I let mine lapse. I earned it, and I have little use to renew it until I actually need it. As I'm working up and getting higher certifications, it's becoming as worthless as the A+/Net+ is after many years experience and more certs.
