You don't *have* to, but it's possible.

The only difference in the setup is if the ml2 config file list a 
different IP address than the management IP, but it's ok if both are the 
same (it will continue to work).

The traffic wont escape. It's just that if one VM floods the management 
network, your operations may become difficult.

Alternatively, you can use the same wire, but with different subnets, 
and setup QoS in your switch, if you identified this may be a problem. 
That being said, with modern networking (like 2x 25 Gbits/s becoming 
very common), this isn't much of a problem anymore.

I hope this helps,
