Routes that are susceptible to SNMP

Good day everyone,

I am currently on a vulnerability assessment gig and found that a router
on the way to my clients target is susceptible to snmp with a community
string of public.  This device when looking at it shows the arp table
having my clients targets IP address in it.  What is the general
consensus of how dangerous this is to my client.  I don't know if I can
change anything with same community string but I can review all the
information on the device. Here is some of the information I found
walking the mib:

Description: Ascend Max-1800 BRI S/N: 8371001 Software +6.0.10+

This device appears to be the gateway router before their email server.
The arp table still has the target in it.  

Please comment!
