in CCNA & CCENT
a few questions.. Didn't see it in the fax 
.
If I earn a CCNa then later get the CCNP. NOw lets say I just let my CCNp expire.
IF I get the CCnp does this renew the CCna.. OR do I have to take both every 3yrs.
Had another Question but forgot it

You only need to re-certify at the highest level. Look at the recertification requirements for the CCNA on Cisco's website. It shows that higher level certifications renew the lower level.

You won't be able to take the CCNP again if you let it expire unless you take the CCNA again. Once your CCNP expires, you'd have to start all over again from scratch or go for CCIE since that doesn't have a prereq.If at first you do succeed, try something harder. -

Well, I'd recommend taking your CCNA every three years just as a backup. That way, you'll always have the CCNA just in case you do let the CCNP cert expire.
