 I find having lots of references to IPV6 addresses a little distracting, especially as at this point in time I am not using them, there is however a really easy way to disable IPV6 in CentOS (and you don't have to remove any IPV6 reference from the ifcfg-xxxx files).
+\\
+\\
+----
+Edit the <color #ed1c24>/etc/sysctl.conf</color>
+\\
+    vi /etc/sysctl.conf
+\\
+\\
+Enter the following to disbale IPV6 on ALL interfaces:
+\\
+    net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
+\\
+\\
+Alternatively you can disable IPV6 on specific interfaces by using: (assuming en016777736 is the interface name)
+\\
+    net.ipv6.conf.eno16777736.disable_ipv6 = 1
+\\
+\\
+Now enter sysctl -p or reboot, thats it.
