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.
