Cisco recommends you shut it down for security/other reasons check out this
whitepaper for more details.

All,

This is a strange question .. not sure if it breaks or do anything. But,
thought will just run by the group.

Normally, I have seen 'interface vlan 1' sometimes in shutdown mode and
sometime it is not. I don't pay much attention to vlan 1 interface unless the
question is specifically looking for native vlan stuff etc.

What is the best and safest policy when it comes to shut/no shut this
interface. It does play a part in trunking so want to make sure should i
leave
it as it is or do no shut on the interface.

!
interface Vlan1
no ip address
shutdown
!
