You go to Pages > All Pages, tick the little square to select all the pages, select Edit from the Bulk Actions pulldown, click Apply, select Do no Allow from the Comments pulldown, click Update.

If you have Discussion unchecked on this screen you cannot manage your comments.

So please do these steps:

Go to Dashboard > Pages > All Pages
From the list of pages choose one that currently allows comments that you want removed and click edit.
While you have that edit screen up, go to screen options and check the Discussion option..

Now when you go back down to your page where you can edit your page, a new module on that page will have been added called Discussion. Here you will have the option to check or uncheck Allow Comments.

Remove the check. Save your page.

Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

is it possible to disable commenting just on one particular post?

We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any post or page.
