/7/ right now == /7.2.1511/

If you want to install 7.1.1503, which is now outdated and contains
security issues, so you likely do NOT want to do it .. BUT .. if you do
then the path is:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.1.1503/os/x86_64/

But, that is only going to work for a couple more days.  CentOS does not
support old versions, and that tree will be moved to the vault.

Why do you want to do a net install.  Download the DVD (ie:
CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1511.iso ) and install from that.  The install will
be much faster than off site net install and you don't need a network
connection to do the install.
