No, they are not the same..
the Default gateway is where you send traffic that you do do not know how to
get to. It is similar to a Default Gateway on a regular computer.
The gateway of last resort is where you send Traffic that you do not have a
route for in your routing tables.
Here is an Example; to clarify the difference.
someone is trying to get to 192.168.2.0, and the only local routes in the
routing table is for 192.168.1.0. The router will send traffic destined to
192.168.2.0 to the gateway of last resort, because it doesn't have a route
in its routing table.
The default gateway comes into play, where there is absolutely nothing in
the routing table.
