Sunnah prayers

[aaa11122333]

Got some confusion when I perform Sunnah prayers directly before and after the Fard prayers. Is the Sunnah prayer exactly the same as the the Fard?

For example for Asr, there are 4 rakats Sunnah before the Fard, so after the 4th Sunnah rakat, do I do the Salaam and then stand up and do Takbir to start the Fard prayer of Asr??

Another example is for Zhur which has 4 Sunnah rakats before the Fard and 2 Sunnah rakats after the Fard, so do I perform 4 rakats sunnah then salaam, perform the 4 fard rakats then salam then perform the 2 sunnah rakats then salam and say Takbir at the start of the sunnah, start of the fard and then Takbir at the beginnining of the 1st rakat for the final sunnah prayer??
