ASA failover through switch

[networker99]

Can ASA's be configured in Active/Passive mode when the statelink goes through a switch?

[branfarm1]

Yes -- this is called LAN-based failover. The only requirement on the switches is that you should configure the link to be on a dedicated VLAN between the two ASA's.

See here for configuration examples:
