I have used both the methods. none of those methods
cause any problems.
you can configure VLANs in global config mode or in
the VLAN database mode.
same with VTP, how i think you can't setup password
for VTP in global config mode.
here is the snapshot with VTP in global config
SW1(config)#vtp ?
domain Set the name of the VTP administrative
domain.
file Configure IFS filesystem file where VTP
configuration is stored.
interface Configure interface as the preferred
source for the VTP IP updater
address.
mode Configure VTP device mode
here is the snapshot with VTP in VLAN data:
SW1(vlan)#vtp ?
client Set the device to client mode.
domain Set the name of the VTP administrative
domain.
password Set the password for the VTP
administrative domain.
pruning Set the administrative domain to permit
pruning.
server Set the device to server mode.
transparent Set the device to transparent mode.
v2-mode Set the administrative domain to V2
mode.
i found it convinient to set up basic VTP stuff in
global config since it made it easier for me stay in
global config do the rest of the config as well such
as interface configs, vlan addition deletion etc...
