The EVE 'local datastore' implementation for App is based on the mDNS to bind the domain name with '.local'. This 'mdsn' command can be used to query on the bridge where the App is located and to see if it replies with the service for datastore image download.

Nslookup

nslookup[/<ip or name>] - display domain name and dns server information
  e.g. nslookup/www.amazon.com -- display DNS information on www.amazon.com
       nslookup/8.8.8.8 -- display DNS information on address 8.8.8.8

The 'nslookup' command is simply getting the DNS resolution result from the EVE device on site.

Ping

ping[/<ip or name>] - ping to 8.8.8.8 from all the UP interfaces or ping a specific address

  e.g. ping -- ping to 8.8.8.8 from each source IP address of the interfaces

       ping/192.168.1.1 -- ping the address of 192.168.1.1

The 'ping' command if without any option, it will try to ping '8.8.8.8' and the controller of the EVE device from each of the interfaces. It can take a domain name or IP address option to send out the ICMP packets. It can be used on internal IP addresses such as App interface IP address, or on external server to see if the device can reach it.
