By default, client applications use HTTPS for all connections to Storage Nodes and the CLB service on Gateway Nodes. However, you can choose to enable an HTTP connection if you want to use HTTP communications for these connections, for example, when testing a non-production grid.
This task is not required when using the Load Balancer service. You can configure each Load Balancer endpoint to use either HTTP or HTTPS as required. See the information on configuring load balancer endpoints for more information.
Grid node | Use | Port number |

S3 port for HTTP | 8084 | |
Storage Node | S3 port for HTTPS | 18082 |
S3 port for HTTP | 18084 |
Grid node | Use | Port number |
