I've made my own gigabit switch with a slightly weird port layout to fit in the case for a larger project. In this video I'm using an extra exposed pinheader on the switch to hook it up to Linux directly and connect it to the switchdev and DSA subsystems to have the network ports on the switch show up as virtual ports in the regular Linux networking stack.
