Are there any good products for detecting illegally installed boxes with a routing capability?

I don't believe anybody mentioned Metasploit's Rogue Link Detection Project from 2005. White paper and related tools are available here:

http://www.metasploit.com/research/projects/rogue_network/

Summary:

Unauthorized network links are one of the biggest problems facing large enterprise networks. Users intent on bypassing corporate proxies will often use cable modems, wireless networks, or even full-fledged T1s to access the internet. These network links can have a drastic affect on organizational security; any perimeter access controls are completely bypassed, making it nearly impossible for the administrators to effectively concentrate their monitoring and intrusion prevention efforts. This document attempts to describe different approaches and techniques that can be used to detect these rogue network links.

Also, the Metasploit Framework includes a couple of modules for automating the process:

Hope this helps,
