Create the file /etc/systemd/network/eth0.conf:

[Match]
Name=eth0
[Network]
Address=<ip>
Gateway=<ip>
DNS=<ip>

That didn't work BUT editing /lib/systemd/network/80-wired.network

[Match]
Name=en* eth*
KernelCommandLine=!nfsroot

[Match]
Name=eth0
[Network]
Address=192.168.0.101/24
#Gateway=<ip>
#DNS=<ip>

[Network]
DHCP=no

[DHCP]
#RouteMetric=10
#ClientIdentifier=mac

... did work, after:

root@arria10:~# systemctl restart systemd-networkd

Preferred method for local configuration is using /etc/systemd/network. However, the probable reason why it did not work is that the file should be eth0.network. The name of the file(s) do not matter that much. The extension does though.
