Help with setting up VLANs (SonicWALL, Netgear, and Meraki)

Hopefully this qualifies to be posted here ... It's some enterprise equipment and some not ... and I'm about 99% sure it wouldn't be understood well at all in the home networking subreddit .... I did cross post it to /r/homelab as well. More or less approaching this as an educational piece to learn a little more than what I know already.

With that said, I am ashamed to admit that I am beyond confused when it comes to VLANs... They definitely didn't go over that too deeply at all when I was in school (that, and it was years and years ago). Anyways, here's what I am hoping to be able to accomplish, and hoping you can help me out.

Equipment

• SonicWALL TZ500W
• Netgear ProSAFE GSS108e
• Meraki MX64
• Linksys EA9500

Current Configuration

• SonicWALL TZ500W in the closet.
  
• Networking Cable ran to the office (1 jack) connected to X0 on SonicWALL
• X0 is part of Zone "LAN" with an IP of 10.0.1.1
• Created Virtual Interface X0:V2, Zone "LAN", IP of 10.0.50.1
• Created DHCP server for Range: 10.0.1.10 - 10.0.1.254 on interface X0
• Created DHCP Server for Range: 10.0.50.2 - 10.0.50.254 on interface X0:V2

Goal

I would like to be able to connect my Netgear ProSAFE Switch to the network jack in the Office in Port 1. From there, I would like to connect the Linksys Router to Port 2. I would like to have Port 3-7 available for other X0 connections (or, if I figure out this entire VLAN thing, maybe make another VLAN for something else down the road with these ports, since the Linksys has 8 ports on it as well). I would like to connect the Meraki to Port 8. I would like to be able to have my Linksys EA9500 (in bridge mode) pull an IP address from the X0 interface, to be handing out IP addresses from the X0 DHCP server. I would like to be able to have my Meraki pull an IP address from the X0:V2 DHCP server, and not have any way to communicate / discover anything happening on X0.

VLAN / Netgear Confusion!

I am not sure where to proceed from here. There are a number of options on the Netgear:

• Port Based
  • Basic (Port Numbers and VLAN Group 1-8 or all)
  • Advanced (8 VLAN Identifiers, each where you can check port numbers to include)
• 802.1Q
  • Basic (Port numbers and VLAN ID / all)
  • Advanced (VLAN Identifier String with VLAN ID and Port Members, VLAN Membership with corresponding VLAN IDs and choosing Tagged / Untagged / Blank, Port PVID with port numbers and text box to enter a number)

I feel as if every combination of things I have chosen results in something not working correctly (mostly not getting an IP address from X0:V2, but other times just losing connectivity all together and having to do a factory reset)

... Help?

/throws_hands_up_in_the_air_in_frustration

The other question would be -- can I not put the Linksys into bridge mode and use it's VLAN capabilities instead somehow... but be able to still ping / communicate with devices on both the SonicWALL's wireless / wired connections, and the wireless/wired connections on the Linksys (which, in my head, is essentially double NATing which is a disaster of it's own)
