If your zone requires reverse zone signing, apply the DNSSEC policy to the IPv4 block or IPv4 network at which you assigned the DNS deployment role. You can first create a unique signing policy for the reverse space of necessary.

When you sign a DNS zone or DNS reverse zone, Address Manager automatically enables the DNSSEC Key Auto Generate option for the configuration. This means that all keys will automatically roll over according to the key parameters set in the signing policy. For more information on the DNSSEC Key Auto Generate option, refer to Managing DNSSEC key rollover and generation.

To apply a DNSSEC signing policy to a reverse zone:

  1. Select the IPAM tab in the sidebar, then select IPv4 blocks.
  2. If you want to sign an IPv4 block, select a block from the IPv4 blocks table or DNS tree. If you want to sign an IPv4 network, navigate to the IPv4 network by selecting the parent block that contains the IPv4 network.
  3. Select the DNSSEC tab.
  4. Select Configure signing policy.
  5. Set the following parameters:
    • Reverse zone signed—select the checkbox.
    • Reverse zone signing policy—select a DNSSEC signing policy from the drop-down menu.
  6. In the Change control section, add comments if required.
  7. Select Save.
  8. Configure DNSSEC deployment options if needed prior to deploying DNS service. For details, refer to Configuring a DNSSEC validating server.
  9. Deploy DNS service with your DNSSEC signing policy.
