Switching between multiple systemd network files

I work in a network where multiple gateways are provided. For various tasks I switch between them.

$ ls /etc/systemd/network
20-wired-gw1.network
20-wired-gw2.network.off

Now if I want to switch between them I do the following:

$ systemctl stop systemd-networkd
$ mv /etc/systemd/network/20-wired-gw1.network /etc/systemd/network/20-wired-gw1.network.off
$ mv /etc/systemd/network/20-wired-gw2.network.off /etc/systemd/network/20-wired-gw2.network
$ systemctl start systemd-networkd

I am just curious if there are better (built in) ways to achieve that? Of course I could write a script for that.
