Add following lines inside ifcfg-eth0/ifcfg-eth1:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=<IPv6-IP-Address>
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=<IPv6-IP-Gateway-Address>

#### Example #####

# vi ifcfg-eth1

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
HWADDR=00:42:81:5e:a8:34
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
IPADDR=207.234.118.4
GATEWAY=207.234.118.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.248
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=2001:470:18:473::ca7e:7b8c
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=2001:470:18:473::4



#### Interface restart ####
ifdown eth1
ifup eth1
or
service network restart


#### Check Interface ####
ifconfig                                                      //It will show the interface details.
