+      is the index of port provided by DSAF (the accelerator). DSAF can connect to 8 PHYs.

+      In NIC mode of DSAF, all 6 PHYs are taken as ethernet ports to the CPU.

+      while the CPU side assume itself have one single NIC connect to this switch.
+      In this case, the port-id will be 2 only.
