If you want set up a specific YUM repository, you have to create a custom file *.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d.
I created my.repo file shown below
# my.repo
#
[JAIST-BASE]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
baseurl=http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/CentOS/$releasever/os/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
[JAIST-EPEL]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
baseurl=http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/epel/6/$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
Repository ID is shown between [ ]. For example, the repo of JAIST-BASE has url address of http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/CentOS/. The full list of mirror sites for base packages can be found at centOS webpage. The full list of mirror sites for EPEL(Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is given at fedora mirror manager.
To produce a list of configured repositories,
# yum repolist
