There's a huge difference between the two. In fact, they are unrelated. Every switch has its own IP address for management purposes, which obviously must reside in some VLAN. By default, the management VLAN is VLAN1. In your first example, you made VLAN4 the management VLAN, which is why VLAN1 shutdown. You can only have one active *management* VLAN interface.
In your second example, you are simply creating a local VLAN. Big difference!
