Example: if you give administrators the option of putting a router
address in a DHCP option, they will do so and some fraction of the time,
this will be the wrong address and things don't work. If you let routers
announce their presence, then it's virtually impossible that something
goes wrong because routers know who they are. A clear win.

Counterexample: rogue RAs from Windows boxes running 6to4 or Teredo and
Internet Connection Sharing. This is a lot harder to fix than a
misconfigured DHCP server.

Force your switch vendor to implement rogue RA filter (ra guard) in your box:
