Thank you

Service Port is used

Service Port is used primarily as an Out-of-Band-Management (OoBM) port. IP Address of the Service Port must NOT be routed and a different subnet to your the rest of your network. For example if your Management Interface has an IP address of 10.0.0.0/8 the your Service Port could have an IP address of 192.168.0.0/16.

So should i create new subnet  only have one IP Address for service port?

For the sake of the operation of the WLC, Service Port is not necessary. Your WLC will function without it.

Only enable the Service Port if you have an OoBM network.
