Sorry to revive an old thread but stumbled on this by googling. Looks like this question never received a definitive answer, and checking the VMware documentation I couldn't find an answer either...
In the current (small) setup I am working though I have their vmotion and management on the same VMKernel interface (yeah I know you're not supposed to) and although the enable vmotion option is checked, the management traffic option isn't. I've always noticed this and always 'wondered'. Now I am redoing the scripted installs for ESXi 5 I thought it would be a good time to double check.
I am going with to go with the idea that this only matters if you have a second VMKernel ip. If there is only one VMkernel IP then by default that will also be the interface used for management traffic.
