SnowPro Core Certification — Question 462

What happens when the values for both an ALLOWED_IP_LIST and a BLOCKED_IP_LIST are used in a network policy?

Answer options

• A. Snowflake ignores the BLOCKED_IP_LIST first.
• B. Snowflake applies the BLOCKED_IP_LIST first.
• C. Snowflake applies the ALLOWED_IP_LIST first.
• D. Snowflake ignores the ALLOWED_IP_LIST first.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Snowflake prioritizes the BLOCKED_IP_LIST, which means any IPs listed there will be blocked before any allowed ones are considered. The other options incorrectly state that the ALLOWED_IP_LIST is applied first or that one of the lists is ignored, which is not the case according to Snowflake's network policy behavior.
