    Hello cbritton1978,

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR's Online community!

     

    Under normal circumstances, the GS105Ev2 in its factory state, Flow Conrtol is "Disabled" for all prots by default, and should appear just as the illustration in the User Manual.

    So in your case, it probably means the switch was not in its factory state, and flow contol has already been enabled. "Enable" means has been enabled or active.

     

    Let us know if that clears your confusion.

     

    Thanks
