I am dropping this question here (it's taken from a forum post https://community.netapp.com/t5/Cloud-Volumes-ONTAP/http-instead-of-https-used-to-retrieve-updated-firmware-images-from-connectors/td-p/441571)
Hoping someone can provide an answer here and if possible in the forum post.
The question was,
"We found that the http protocol is used to retrieve firmware images by filers from the connectors.
This protocol is also used to upload configuration backups.
Is there a way to change the configuration and use https?"
