A three minute timeout sounds like a RIP expiry time. If you are running gated or routed the sl* interfaces must be marked as passive, i.e. don't expect information from the remote gateway, just assume they are working. Otherwise, gated/routed will expect the other end to continually annouce its presence, and if it doesn't, the route will be marked for deletion after 1 minute silence and deleted after a further two minutes of silence.
