Abstract: In this paper, all graphs are assumed to be finite. For sgeq1 and a graph G, if for every pair of isomorphic connected induced subgraphs on at most s vertices there exists an automorphism of G mapping the first to the second, then we say that G is s-connected-set-homogeneous, and if every isomorphism between two isomorphic connected induced subgraphs on at most s vertices can be extended to an automorphism of G, then we say that G is s-connected-homogeneous. For ngeq1, a graph G is said to be locally 2Kn if the subgraph [G(u)] induced on the set of vertices of G adjacent to a given vertex u is isomorphic to 2Kn. Note that 2-connected-set-homogeneous but not 2-connected-homogeneous graphs are just the half-arc-transitive graphs which are a quite active topic in algebraic graph theory. Motivated by this, we posed the problem of characterizing or classifying 3-connected-set-homogeneous graphs of girth 3 which are not 3-connected-homogeneous in (Eur. J. Combin. 93 (2021) 103275). Until now, there have been only two known families of 3-connected-set-homogeneous graphs of girth 3 which are not 3-connected-homogeneous, and these graphs are locally 2Kn with n=2 or 4. In this paper, we complete the classification of finite 3-connected-set-homogeneous graphs which are locally 2Kn with ngeq2, and all such graphs are line graphs of some specific 2-arc-transitive graphs. Furthermore, we give a good description of finite 3-connected-set-homogeneous but not 3-connected-homogeneous graphs which are locally 2Kn and have solvable automorphism groups. This is then used to construct some new 3-connected-set-homogeneous but not 3-connected-homogeneous graphs as well as some new 2-arc-transitive graphs.
