Unable to transfer data using migration asssistant from old macbook pro (2017, Big Sur 11.4) to new macbook pro (2019, Big Sur 11.4)

I have old (15 inch 2017) and new (16 inch 2019) macbook pro running Big Sur 11.4 version. I tried to copy data using migration assistant. After the code is matched in both mac, it fails to connect with old macbook with error Unable to connect and try disabling firewall. I have disabled firewall in both laptops. But still getting the same error.

Please help me in transferring data to new macbook.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.4
