High Sierra and AirDrop

Ron, no idea why it says 2012 when my 2011 iMacs & 2010 Mac Pro use Airdrop fine, but...

If you can't see the other device in AirDrop

Make sure that your devices meet these requirements:

• Both devices are within 30 feet (9 meters) of each other and have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.
• Each Mac was introduced in 2012 or later (excluding the 2012 Mac Pro) and is using OS X Yosemite or later. To find out, choose Apple menu  > About This Mac. 
• Each iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is using iOS 7 or later, with Personal Hotspot turned off.

Make sure that your devices can receive AirDrop requests:

• Choose Go > AirDrop from the menu bar in the Finder, then check the ”Allow me to be discovered by” setting in the AirDrop window. iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch have a similar setting. If set to receive from Contacts Only, both devices must be signed in to iCloud, and the email address or phone number associated with the sender's Apple ID must be in the Contacts app of the receiving device. 
• Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Security & Privacy. Click the Firewall tab, then click the lock  and enter your administrator password when prompted. Click Firewall Options, then deselect “Block all incoming connections.”

How to find the IP address on an iPad

1. Open your Settings app.

2. Tap on "Wi-Fi."

3. Tap on the network your iPad is connected to (one with a check next to it). This will pull up the information for the network and your iPad.

4. The IP address will be listed in the second box, under IPV4 address.

I never see that "Allow me to be discovered" on mine either, but I have Bluetooth turned off if that matters, but all I have to do is click on AirDrop on both & the other one shows up...

What are the IPs of the 2?

You're welcome, do let us know how it's going please. :)
