A default route is considered a gateway of last resort; meaning all ip packets that don't have a match in the routing table of a router will be forwarded to the default route.

An ultimate route is a route in the routing table of a router that indicates both the next hop ip address and the exit interface.

When should you use a default route?

When you have routing enabled then you need default route (also calleddefault network or Gateway of Last Resort). You do not need default routeif you don't use routing. For example if you just have one router in your network there is no need for default route. When you have more than one router in a network you need default route.Note: If you connect to WAN (Internet) you need default route. The default route allows connection with Internet. If you are not using WAN and have one router than there is not need for default route but in these days everyone connects to the Internet so most likely your router has default route. When using router to connect to the Internet using DHCP this happens automatically so there will no need to configure default route manually. If you need to manually set default route then use the commands IP default-network or IP route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 .More info can be found at Cisco's site - see the related link below.
