What does it mean when you see this all the time on your catalyst 2950 switch even though the switch is passing traffic?
5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec

It means that there is very little traffic. Please note that the counter is an average over the last five mins.
When the five-minute interval is below one packets/s it is rounded down to zero.

I cleared the counters on the interface and watched over five mins and the 5 min input/output still shows zero. See below:
