[dev] vtysh: Missing "Show Ip" Commands

[Carr, Christopher]

I was unclear if this should be asked on the dev mailing list or as an issue on GitHub.

We are currently using Quagga on our systems and I am investigating moving over to FRRouting.

I've been building FRRouting with a custom Yocto recipe, cross-compiled for the PPC.
(I'm using one of the latest commits rather than a released version from GitHub, as there were some fixes for hosttools that was not available in the release)
So far I've got it to the point where my build completes, and I have binaries that run on the target. As my system used quagga before, I've configured FRR to use the quagga and quaggavty user/groups. The installed files on the switch have also been chown'd with quagga/quaggavty as appropriate.

The one thing that I'm having trouble figuring out is the exposing of the "show ip" commnds via vtysh.

Running just zebra, staticd and ripd the vtysh utility will only show the default subset of "show" commands.
All the "show ip", "show ip rip" etc are missing.

However if I telnet directly to the ripd port, after setting a password via vtysh, then everything is present via that telnet connection.
I've tried both  configure and privileged mode to see if the command set changed to display these, but neither did.
I've included the output of the success and failure below.

I've looked at the vtysh code however nothing is jumping out as obviously wrong.

I'm guessing that I've not configured something in the build correctly, but I'm confused as to what it could be. Searching the mailing lists and GitHub issues hasn't unearthed and similar issues.

Does anyone have any pointers to areas that I might look at to solve this be it in configuration, compilation or installation etc.

Thanks
