Hello, mike 18.

I think the number of "linkagg group" and number of "actor admin key" can be different, only "actor admin key" make associations between linkagg group and ports thay will be attached to this group.

See example from Network Configuration Guide:

1. Create the dynamic aggregate group on the local (actor) switch with the linkagg lacp agg size command as shown below:
-> linkagg lacp agg 2 size 8 actor admin-key 5

2 Configure ports (the number of ports must be less than or equal to the size value set in step 1) with the same actor administrative key (which allows them to be aggregated) with the linkagg lacp agg actor admin-key command. For example:

-> linkagg lacp port 1/1 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 1/4 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 3/3 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 5/4 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 6/1-2 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 7/3 actor admin-key 5
-> linkagg lacp port 8/1 actor admin-key 5


So, you can see that number of linkagg group is 2 and actor admin key is 5.

As strelok said:
it is not necessary to have the same number, but i think it is easier to memorize if you use same number for linkagg numbers and actor keys
