Netgear VLAN questions
I am configuring a VLAN using Netgear switches with SFP ports. I have 6 separate buildings with there own network rack and each have a 48 port switch with a fiber run back to the main network room. In the main network room, I have a 12 port SFP Netgear fiber switch and 2 48 port Netgear switches. I also have 4 access points in each of the 6 buildings connected to port 1-4. The fiber ports are port 49 in each of the buildings. Here's what I did to configure the VLAN, please let me know if I may be missing anything. I created the 2 VLAN's on every device, I left VLAN 1 as the management VLAN and made VLAN 11 for the private network, and VLAN 12 as the public network. I tagged VLAN 11 and 12 on ports 1-4 and port 49 on all switches. I also marked ports 5-24 untagged for VLAN 12 and 25-48 for VLAN 11. Then I went to routing and went to VLAN. I selected the VLAN ID, entered the IP address and the subnet of what I wanted the switch to be set as for each VLAN. <--Not sure if this is correct.

Okay, I would take all of the vlans on the trunk ports leading back the to SFP switch. I would tag all the vlans connected to the AP's if you are running multiple ssid's per vlan on them. Each building switch would have an ip for VLAN 1 for management. The SFP switch would have an ip for all vlan's since it is routing for them.

How would I give the SFP switch an IP for all VLAN's? What would that be called?

It's a Netgear ProSafe GSM7212P
It says it provides comprehensive Layer 2, Lite Layer 3 and Layer 4 switching..should I be ok with that? I also have a Sonicwall NSA 250 as the firewall.
