Section 5 says:

   - DHCPv4 servers that do conform to this specification must
     interoperate correctly with DHCPv4 clients that do not conform to
     this specification, except that when configuring such clients,
     behaviors such as those described in section 2 may occur.

It should say:

   - DHCPv4 servers that do conform to this specification must
     interoperate correctly with DHCPv4 clients that do not conform to
     this specification, except that when configuring such clients,
     behaviors such as those described in section 4.2 may occur.

Notes:

Incorrect referenct to section 2.

-- Verifier note --
The original text should indeed refer to section 4.2 but it can be expected that the reader will auto-correct and as the error does not prevent interoperation, this errata is classified as "held for document update".
