cannot get static IP

[sameerarvikar]

Hi,
I am using Linux-krogoth over IMX6

I want the ethernet interface 'eth0' to have static ip address
for that i edit the file 
vi /etc/network/interfaces   

# The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static     address 0.0.0.0     netmask 255.255.255.0

i changed dhcp to static

I added 
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
to the startup script of linux (rc.local)

still i am getting a dhcp address at eth0 interface
if there is no dhcp server available in network i get 
169.254.x.x ip address 
if dhcp server is available ,it gets an dhcp ip address

What might be the issue , do i need to change in any other file to keep eth0 interface ip as static ?? 
Please resolve

Regards
Sameer

Network configuration can be done through systemd.

To stop using DHCP and define a static ip address:

1. Create a configuration file  with desired parameters under /lib/systemd/network

# cat >> /lib/systemd/network/10-eth0.network << EOF
[Match]
Name=eth0
[Network]
Address=10.0.0.100/24
Gateway=10.0.0.1
EOF‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2. Restart systemd-networkd service

# systemctl restart systemd-networkd.service‍

3. Verify

# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:9f:04:a7:48
 inet addr:10.0.0.100 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
 inet6 addr: fe80::204:9fff:fe04:a748/64 Scope:Link
