Self IP and Mgmt IP Question

Scenario is that we have a class B network with one VLAN ( flat VLAN ). I cant configure the Mgmt IP and the Self IP ( as it shares the network ).

Questions:

1) Apart from creating another VLAN ( our network bit is outsourced so takes ages for these kind of requests ) , is there any other way out?

2) Why does it not allow for mgmt IP and self IP to be on the same network ( e.g mgmt ip = 10.161.10.xxx and I try and give a self ip of 10.161.153.xxx will not work with 255.255.0.0 subnet )

Thanks

Thanks Aaron, adding a host only network for my HyperV server turned out to be an easy fix for this!

Ok - I know this post is pretty old, but I just had the same problem and was able to solve it by using Partitions and Route Domains. You can create an untagged vlan and place that untagged vlan in the Route Domain and it will no longer bark at you - since they are in two separate routing tables now.

To avannatta above, not sure if he is still around here, but I would be interested to hear a little more about the solution he alluded to above, as I am running into the same issue with management IP vs. self IP, and only have a single VLAN.
