Shares of Juniper Networks ( NYSE: JNPR) and HP Enterprise ( NYSE: HPE) surged in early trading on Monday after the Department of Justice settled its lawsuit with HP Enterprise ( NYSE: HPE ), paving the way for the two companies to merge.

The Justice Department settled its lawsuit challenging Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s $13 billion takeover of Juniper Networks, less than two weeks before a trial was set to start. The settlement was disclosed in court filings late Friday and will require the combined company to sell HPE’s Instant On wireless networking business and auction off a license to Juniper’s competing Mist business.

DOJ green-lights HPE's $14 billion acquisition of Juniper, but the settlement requires the combined company to divest HPE's Instant On wireless networking business and license the source code for Juniper's Mist AI software.
