1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a request for configuration of a first endpoint;
determining, using a processor, a first virtual local area network associated with voice data packets, wherein a first virtual local area network identifier is associated with the first virtual local area network;
determining, using the processor, a second virtual local area network associated with non-voice data packets, wherein a second virtual local area network identifier is associated with the second virtual local area network;
storing, at a memory, the first virtual local area network identifier and the second virtual local area network identifier, wherein the first virtual local area network identifier is associated with voice data packets and the second virtual local area network identifier is associated with non-voice data packets; and
communicating, to the first endpoint, a first virtual local area network identifier associated with the first virtual local area network, wherein the first endpoint is operable to transmit data packets comprising the first virtual local area network identifier if the data packets are voice data packets.

Abstract
A system and method for implementing telephony devices in a distributed network environment is disclosed. The present invention provides for voice transmissions to be given a dedicated virtual local area network (“VLAN”) for packet transmission and reception to prevent poor quality of service. Non-voice data packets are transmitted on a separate VLAN.
