Arista Networks Inc. will pay $400 million to Cisco Systems Inc. to resolve a U.S. court fight between the two network equipment makers, Arista said in a regulatory filing on Monday, the day a jury trial in the dispute was scheduled to begin.

The settlement resolved U.S. lawsuits filed by Cisco alleging Arista copied its intellectual property.
