The configuration identifier may identify an Ethernet segment identifier (ESI) configuration of the first device. The device may identify the range identifier or the configuration identifier included in the route identifier. The device may select a designated forwarder from among multiple devices based on the range of broadcast domain identifiers or based on identifying the configuration identifier. The designated forwarder may be the same designated forwarder selected by at least one other device.
