This got me curious. Looking at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-
ipv6, you can control ipv6 from /etc/sysconfig/network.

# Uses following information from "/etc/sysconfig/network":
#  NETWORKING_IPV6=yes|no: controls IPv6 initialization (global setting)
#  IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=<device>: controls default route (optional)
#  IPV6_DEFAULTGW=<address>: controls default route (optional)
