ASA Clustering with 4500 Switch

[mansoorqa.w1]

HI

I have two cisco ASA 5545 that config as active-stnadby and there is two cisco 4510(with sup 7E) in downstream(inside zone of ASA) that config as active-standby(HSRP).

now I want config two ASA's as a cluster and two 4510 as VSS.

I read "BRKSEC-3032" Doc and I see a list of switch's that ASA cluster support them. since the cisco 4500 does not exist in this list, then i can't use these switch's in the ASA cluster?

if no, is there any solution for this scenario? and why can't we use cisco 4500 with ASA cluster?

thanks

ASA's only require each interface (outside, inside, etc) can see the same interface on other ASA's in the cluster.  You will be able to do this on a 4510.

i don't have any problem to config 2*ASA's as a cluster and 2*4510R-E in VSS mode.

but my question: can i connect SpannedEtherchannel from ASA cluster(one link per chassis) to 4510 VSS(one link per chassis)?

according to below sentence in "BRKSEC-3032" Doc, really i can't use 4510 switches(VSS mode) in spanned etherchannel clustering?

"Limited switch chassis support for control and data interfaces
•Catalyst 3750-X, 6500 with Sup32, Sup720, or Sup720-1GE, and 6800 with Sup2T
•Nexus 5000, 6000, 7000, 9300, and 9500
•Catalyst 4500-X and ASR 9000 with ASA 9.5(1) inJuly 2015"
