    Abstract: A system for configuring network access in a control and user plane separation architecture includes at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to send, by a session management function (SMF) to a first user plane function (UPF), a first packet forwarding control protocol (PFCP) message including an indication of a first tunnel internet protocol (IP) address and a designated state for the first UPF and send, by the SMF to a second UPF, a second PFCP message including the indication of the first tunnel IP address and a designated state for the second UPF, the designated state for the second UPF being standby and the designated state for the first UPF being active.
