Disable IPv6 in CentOS
From KlavoWiki

Apparently it is not recommended to per se disable IPv6 in CentOS. What we can do is unbind IPv6 from the network card.
/etc/sysctl.conf
Add the following lines
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
The above will be in effect after a reboot.
To unbind IPv6 on the system without a reboot and a temporary unbind until a reboot is performed.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/disable_ipv6
