+From SSH, Edit the file <color #00a2e8>/etc/sysctl.conf</color> by default it will likely just contain the following:
+\\
+<file>
+# sysctl settings are defined through files in
+# /usr/lib/sysctl.d/, /run/sysctl.d/, and /etc/sysctl.d/.
+#
+# Vendors settings live in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/.
+# To override a whole file, create a new file with the same in
+# /etc/sysctl.d/ and put new settings there. To override
+# only specific settings, add a file with a lexically later
+# name in /etc/sysctl.d/ and put new settings there.
+#
+# For more information, see sysctl.conf(5) and sysctl.d(5).
+</file>
+\\
+At the end of this file, add the following lines (you may not need all of them, or you may need more) replacing the interface names with your own.
+\\
+\\
+<file>
+net.ipv6.conf.eno1.disable_ipv6 = 1
+net.ipv6.conf.eno2.disable_ipv6 = 1
+net.ipv6.conf.eno3.disable_ipv6 = 1
+net.ipv6.conf.eno4.disable_ipv6 = 1
+net.ipv6.conf.mngt.disable_ipv6 = 1
+</file>
+Save the file. Next we need to edit the ifcfg-enox files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
+\\
+\\
+In each file add the following 2 lines
+\\
+  IPV6INIT=no
+  IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
+\\
+Once all the changes have been made, reboot the server.
