BIG-IP 2000, v11.4 and STP

I'm just installing some new 2000 devices running v11.4. I can't for the life of me find any STP options in the GUI. I've checked the release notes and don't see anything mentioned around this. What happened?

    Thanks Matthieu. Just for everyone else's benefit: "...STP is not supported on the 2000s, 2200s, 4000s, or 4200v hardware platforms."

    I'm quite happy about this as, in general I disable STP ASAP on any devices I install unless there's a strong and specific reason not to.

    Yes, the 2x00 and 4x00 only support STP passthrough. The 5x00 and up support active STP and the other variants.
