So the original Banana Pi also has a SATA port, the only real difference is the ethernet. The ethernet isn't really 5 ethernet ports at all. It's a single gigabit ethernet port on the ARM device attached to a 6 port ethernet switch which is then labelled as 4 LAN, 1 WAN with the 6th port being the port attached to the actual ARM SoC Gig ethernet port. How are you booting it? Are you following the instructions for the Banana Pi and using the Banana Pi device tree? If so I suspect you can see the single ethernet interface using ethtool but not actually get connectivity. I'm not sure how the on board switch is controlled, it's likely by i2c or GPIO of some sort which will be used to tell it to power up and actually to configure VLANs etc to get the LAN/WAN specific config.
