Systems and methods for firmware network device firmware cloning are described herein. Exemplary embodiments include firmware cloning systems and methods, including a means for reading firmware code stored in a network device for and copying the firmware code to another network device. In a blade server environment, a firmware-cloning utility is stored in a non-volatile memory of each network device. The firmware-cloning utility becomes a component of the actual firmware. The firmware-cloning utility allows firmware to be installed directly from one network device's non-volatile memory to another network device.
