Rhel/centos 6 does not configure network interfaces on default installation. Also, it's configured to use NetworkManager. To enable networking interface and disable NetworkManager please follow instructions below.

The/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 content looks as follows on default installation.

Device= "Eth0″
HWADDR=SPECIFC MAC Address
Nm_controlled= "Yes"
Onboot= "No

For DHCP, configure the interface as follows.

Device= "Eth0″
HWADDR=SPECIFC MAC Address
Nm_controlled= "No"
onboot= "Yes"
Bootproto= "DHCP"

Restart the network after configuration.

/etc/init.d/network restart
Or
Service Network restart

For Static IP, configure it as follows

Device= "Eth0″
HWADDR=SPECIFC MAC Address
Nm_controlled= "No"
onboot= "Yes"
bootproto= "Static"
Ipaddr=ip address here.
Netmask=netmask here.

Change The/etc/sysconfig/network to the GATEWAY.

Networking=yes
Hostname=www.linuxbyanish.com
Gateway=gateway address here.

Restart the network after configuration.
