in CCNA & CCENT
I'm a bit fuzzy on the method of renewing my CCNA, as I got mine a while back before they started branching off the speciality certs. If I pass, say, CCNA-Wireless, would it renew my plain 'ol CCNA, or would I have to retake the entire CCNA again? I know if I pass a higher level cert, it renews it.

Directly from the horse's mouth:CCNA certifications are valid for three years. To recertify, pass ONE of the following before the certification expiration date:- Pass the current ICND2 exam, or
- Pass the current CCNA exam, or
- Pass the current CCDA DESGN exam, or
- Pass any current CCNA Concentration exam (wireless, or security, or voice, or SP Ops), or
- Pass any current 642-XXX Professional level exam, or
- Pass any current Cisco Specialist exam (excluding Sales Specialist exams or MeetingPlace Specialist exams or Implementing Cisco TelePresence Installations exams or Cisco Leading Virtual Classroom Instruction exams), or
- Pass any current CCIE Written Exam, or
- Pass the current CCDE Written Exam OR current CCDE Practical Exam, or
- Pass the Cisco Certified Architect (CCAr) interview AND the CCAr board review to extend lower certifications
