In terms of behaviour of the SET request - no.

The protocol used by SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 is identical.

(Strictly speaking, both SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 actually use SNMPv2

protocol requests. But that's not important right now).

 

The difference lies in the administrative information, used to decide

whether or not to accept a particular request.  SNMPv2c has the very

simple community-based admin mechanism.  SNMPv3 has a much more

powerful (secure, complex) administrative framework - supporting

proper authentication, encryption, etc.   But the basic protocol

operations are the same.
